I get nothing for being average...

I'm looking for scholarships and meet none of the requirements. I'm just too average. I thought I found one but wait - you must have a visual impairment. Anyone want to poke me in the eye?

fwiw, my sister and I have talked about this before. We've always been average. I played travel soccer but I was just average. I did other extracurriculars but was still just average. 

The only non-average thing about me is that I am 21 and married...

  • I'm in the same boat. :(

  • well, I am sure there is something that makes you more than just average as a person, but when it comes to college stuff I completely understand.    Maybe you can apply for some academic scholarships?   Keep trying, there are a ton out there anbd maybe you will get lucky and find a great one.

  • I would say "at least we're not below average" but there are so many scholarships for minorities so... yeah...

    I hope you don't mean this in the way it is written.  Minorities are not automatically below average.

    NO! Yikes. No! Shoot, crap, how do I explain what I meant? Like... white people are everywhere and the percentage of minorities is less than the percentage of white people? Yeah...

    --- Except I totally learned about how white people are going to be the next minority since there are so many interracial couples these days (which is awesome)

    Did I save myself? Do you hate me now? I wholeheartedly agree that minorities are not automatically below average.

    Really? Maybe I can try to re-look at some of the Hispanic ones I saw. 

    P.S. There's a "dolphin" type of scholarship.... but it's not the dolphin you think. It's for children of Navy SEALs. I giggled and thought it was cute/creative.

    It's all good.  I get what you meant - I just wanted to make sure.

    Maybe I'm just searching it wrong. I've been doing it by state, but that's about it. There is a bunch of rural-type or religious scholarships. I'll admit, I haven't looked that hard. Plus this fall is the first time I'll be officially "full-time"  so that had a lot to do with it.

    If you find any info on it, please pass it along. You'd be a life saver.

  • Try filling out ones that you might not make all the requirements for. You never know. I heard of people getting scholarships for being left handed and they were not.

  • When I looked for scholarships I would get FURIOUS.

    I didn't qualify for anything because i didn't eff up my life. If I had gotten pregnant and not gotten married I would get so much money it's ridiculous!

    Totally. And my degree is very generic (Wellness, Health Promotion, Injury Prevention) but I haven't decided on my concentration or minor... but since health/wellness is so generic I don't qualify for the specific health-related scholarships. Grrr.
