众所周知，现在英美两国都涨学费了。这高昂的留学费还是让不少留学生勒紧了裤腰带，毕竟留学的学费真的不便宜啊！！虽说留学费用是越来越贵了，但是还有奖学金可以申请啊！！看到这里，相信很多人会说，奖学金竞争也很大啊！不是人人都能申请啊！
但是也不乏一些奇葩的奖学金是可以申请的！毕竟名额多！近日，外媒就爆料了英国大学里的一些好申请的奇葩奖学金，据说英国学生每年都有可能会错过那1.5亿英镑的无人认领的奖学金！！（这数目也是相当庞大了~）为什么这些奖学金会无人认领呢？
In fact, according to one report by The Scholarship Hub, UK students are potentially missing out on over £150 million in unclaimed scholarships each year. These schemes vary from teaching to engineering degrees, but cast the net wider, and you've much more to play with. The organisation claims half of scholarships are struggling to be filled with some receiving just 50 applicants in total.

素食主义者也有奖学金可以拿？还真的是，有些学校真的给素食主义者发放奖学金了！！！如果年龄是在26岁以下，并且是素食主义者，可能就有资格可以获得高达500英镑的一次性奖学金了。这个奖励是由素食慈善机构提供的，不过这个助学金主要是为那些处于困境的学生设计的。

总有一些英国大学生家庭较为贫困，需要一些经济资助。所以Leverhulme慈善信托基金就为这些英国学生每年提供3000英镑的奖学金！！这些奖学金最多可以申请到3000英镑，而且还能申请大学每年提供的新助学金。（这奖学金真的很诱人啊！）

4、 高尔夫球奖学金
不单单是合唱团可以申请奖学金，擅长打高尔夫的学生也能申请奖学金了，当然前提你得是顶尖的高尔夫球手。要是还在大型比赛中获过奖的，你也可以申请高达5000英镑的奖学金。那么有哪些大学可以申请到这个高尔夫奖学金呢？据说有17所英国大学都提供了这个奖学金申请，包括伯明翰大学（University of Birmingham）、圣安德鲁斯大学（University of St Andrews）等，在8月1日至9月30日之间发送申请表就可以了。（不过，这个奖学金还真是不好申请啊！）
