Cool and unusual scholarships

Although national or big name scholarships can be a shot in the dark, here are some that you might want to consider.  It's like the lottery: if you don't play, you'll never win.

For the creative type, consider the "Create A Greeting Card" Scholarship Contest.  Applicants must submit an original greeting card design for a chance to win $10,000.  For more details, visit http://www.gallerycollection.com/greeting-cards-scholarship.htm

If you're into social media, the Toyota Teen Driver Video Challenge is offering several big prizes to the top three winners who submit a video public service announcement on teen driving safety.

For the worker bee: If you've been working part time during the school year (and not just at Burger King), Burger King might have a scholarship for you.  It might take a little digging, but start here: https://www.cappex.com/scholarship/listings/Burger-King-Scholars-Program/-s-d-2988
