Weird Scholarship Requirements

When it comes to the world of scholarships, it seems that no requirement is off limits. As a matter of fact, the more unusual the scholarship itself, the more unique the submission requirements. Because of this, applicants needs to be ready for anything and fully prepared to accommodate any scholarship demands. Not everyone may want to comply with an unusual scholarship that has odd submission requirements--just the fact that you're willing to do this extra work will give you an advantage over potential competitors.
