Hey there! It's always fun to come across scholarship questions that are out of the ordinary. Here are a few unique and interesting prompts I've seen:

1. "If you were a flavor of ice cream, which would you be and why?" - This question allows you to be creative and showcase your personality.

2. "Create a new holiday: What would you celebrate and how would people observe it?” - This prompt pushes you to think about your values, priorities, and creative solutions to promote your ideas.

3. "How will technology affect the way we communicate in 10 years?" - A question like this prompts you to think critically about the future and your vision for the role of technology in our lives.

4. "What kind of emoji would you create and why is it essential in daily conversation?" - This prompt encourages you to think about the gaps within modern symbols and expressions and come up with a unique solution.

5. "If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be and what would you discuss?" - This prompt gives you a chance to showcase your intellectual curiosity and personal interests.

6. "Using only one word, describe the current state of our society. Then, elaborate on that word in an essay." - With this question, you can demonstrate your ability to synthesize complex issues in a single term, while also exhibiting your writing skills.

7. "If you could create a new invention or solve an existing problem, what would it be and why?" - This prompt tests your imaginative and problem-solving abilities, and highlights your priorities in terms of societal needs.

Remember, these unique prompts are meant to help you showcase your creativity, personality, and problem-solving skills, so don't be afraid to show your true self in your responses. These types of questions aim to bring out the best in you! Good luck with your scholarship applications!
