The best way to locate any odd scholarships is using a variety of methods to seek them. One method might work while another fails. I will include several free methods to locate college scholarships.
First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.
Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites, but the best I have located is Scholarship Experts since they have a very thorough and lengthy survey to complete compared to Fastweb. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
If you use a scholarship search website, the best chance to find unique scholarships is using Scholarship Experts. I have used both Fastweb and Scholarship Experts. Scholarship experts has a more thorough background survey than Fastweb which includes parental occupation, schools, and a longer list of hobbies and sports.
Good luck!

If you go to fastweb.com you can make a profile and search for TONS of scholarships that correspond with your interests, hobbies, sports, and just some weird stuff. For example, I was on there a couple of weeks ago, and there was a scholarship for like $1500, and all you had to do was make an entire outfit out of duct tape and wear it to prom. Also, at fastweb, they offer jobs near where you live and interships. It's a really cool website.
Hope I could help!
