8 College Scholarships I Wish Were Real

As a parent of a teenager about to graduate, I find myself in a whirlwind of emotions while navigating the financial aid maze for college. It can feel as daunting as the day I first held my newborn daughter, Emily. Just when I think I have a grip on things, I find myself sinking deeper into the complexities of financial planning. Recently, as I was browsing yet another college funding website, I let my imagination run wild about the scholarships that could truly benefit Emily and her peers. Here are eight creative scholarship ideas that I wish were available:

  1. Texting Mastery
    Applicants would need to demonstrate a profound understanding of the latest texting acronyms. They’d also be required to multitask by texting, listening to music, and completing homework simultaneously. Bonus points would be awarded for crafting a life story in a single tweet of 140 characters or fewer.
  2. Useless Knowledge
    While some may argue otherwise, an extensive knowledge of obscure topics—like the intricate details of anime—often seems impractical. A scholarship that rewards students for the countless hours spent immersed in their hobbies would be fantastic. Applicants could choose their niche and submit a 5,000-word essay on their chosen subject, with extra points for those who include a detailed history of their favorite series, like Hetalia.
  3. Debate Champion
    Although there are existing scholarships for debate participants, this one would focus on the everyday arguments teens engage in. Emily can turn any discussion into a passionate debate, whether it’s about the merits of “Star Wars” versus “Star Trek” or simply convincing me to let her stay up late. A video submission showing applicants in heated discussions with an adult would earn points based on volume, duration, and the frequency of repeated arguments.
  4. Dramatic Flair
    Having a sixteen-year-old daughter means living with a constant performance of emotions. The scholarship would simply celebrate the dramatic lives of teens, recognizing their flair for the theatrical.
  5. Most Unique Organization System
    Let’s be honest; I dread entering Emily’s room, where chaos reigns supreme. She insists there is a method to the madness. This scholarship would challenge applicants to submit a photo of their room alongside a list of 25 items to find. Points would be awarded based on how well judges can decipher the supposed organization.
  6. Emotional Rollercoaster
    Emily can oscillate between joy and tears in the blink of an eye, often over trivial matters. This scholarship would require a recording of her emotional shifts over a 15- to 30-minute span, capturing the number of mood changes and awarding bonus points for the smallest triggers.
  7. Master Manipulator
    This scholarship would highlight the art of persuasion among teens. The ability to switch from one-word responses to tearful outbursts is nothing short of impressive. Applicants could submit a written or video account demonstrating how they convinced their parents to say yes to a request, with points allocated for speed and charm before and after the request is granted.
  8. Self-Proclaimed Queen of the Universe
    This isn’t a beauty contest; it’s about the undeniable fact that teens often think they know everything. Emily, like many teens, sometimes believes that any suggestion from her parents is utterly ridiculous. This scholarship would require candidates to demonstrate how they assert their royal status and why the universe exists to cater to their needs. The reward? A free ride to their chosen college.

While these imaginary scholarships might reflect the quirks of teenage life, they would certainly make the financial aid journey more entertaining. For more insights into navigating the world of college funding, check out this other blog post here.
