Think Like Letterman, Win College Tuition Trekkies: "Star Trek" fans can shoot for a $500 grant from the Klingon Language Institute - the esteemed organization that translated "Hamlet" into the sci-fi warrior language - and you don't even have to be fluent in Klingon. You just need to demonstrate a desire to go into language studies and creativity.
Knitters (probably also crochet folks): If you're good with a needle, The National Make It Yourself With Wool Scholarship offers $100 to $1,000 to those who whip up the most impressive afghans. [...]
With scholarships like those, maybe I could go back to get more college stuff done. Hmmm... and afghan with Klingon on it? Now that would be different. *grins*
