I have already shared a scholarship or tall people but inadvertently failed to report on college money available for those shorter stature. But fear not, here is one for the little people.

WTFscholarships.com got started with one purpose, to expose little known unusual scholarships most people had no idea existed. Over time the site evolved into helping find other unusual ways to get or save money on your college expenses, but at it’s core its still all about these weird and unusual scholarships so I decided to put together a list of all the ones I currently know about, all in one big list. You will [...] Continue Reading…
I wrote this post a while back while entertaining the idea of blogging about my online educational journey on a personal blog, life got in the way and I was unable to finish my higher education pursuits (for now) or start that blog, but I learned a ton of valuable information on fast and inexpensive ways to get a regionally accredited degree (the best, just like your local state school) online. I will share [...] Continue Reading…

Would you consider taking at least your first year of school online?
It may not be a scholarship, but you can save way more than the average scholarship with Straighterline by taking online classes. When you consider that the College Board reports that a “moderate” college budget for an in-state public college for the 2010–2011 academic year averaged $20,339 getting a full year of college for under $1000 is amazing to say the least. The [...] Continue Reading…
The cost of education has literally gone through the roof. To get a college education is expensive and most students are steep in debt at the beginning of their careers. It may take their entire working lives to repay the student loans they have taken. Fortunately this need not be so. With a little bit of research, you can find many tuition free Colleges, both regular and online, which provide education without charging the [...] Continue Reading…
Twins can mean Double trouble when it comes time for paying for college. Managing to put one child through school can be challenging enough as it is, but two at once? ouch! Fortunately several colleges have created special scholarships just for twins, most of these give a discount for the second sibling, but some give as much as half off tuition for both! Pretty cool way to save for twins seeking higher education.
Here are [...] Continue Reading…

What would be classified as unusual or weird scholarships?
In my totally irrelevant opinion it’s any scholarship that makes you scratch your head and say “WTF?”. That is literally how this website got started and where the name came from, I was looking for scholarships to help my son who’s transcript was less than impressive and found some of these weird scholarships and I was like “WTF?”.
Once I started this site and began doing some [...] Continue Reading…
Easy to get Scholarships almost anyone can get? You may be asking what is with the “almost”? I say “almost anyone” because the scholarships you find on this site ARE quite easy to get, but many can be pretty specific about the requirements needed to obtain them. What makes them easy is that for the most part they do not have strict academic requirements that must be met in order to qualify. Many sites, [...] Continue Reading…
