While scholarships are abundant for star athletes, honor students and gifted musicians, teens with unusual traits or talents can cash in too -- for instance, if they sound like a duck.

“There’s money out there,” said Stephen Bell from the Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce in Stuttgart, Ark. He would know. For more than three decades, teens from U.S. high schools have converged on his town of about 9,000 residents, just southeast of Little Rock, to compete for scholarship money. Their talent: Duck calling.

“It’s open to any high school senior in the nation, and we’ve had a lot of students," Bell said, adding, "They come from not only Arkansas, but Iowa, Michigan and Illinois."

The Stuttgart contest has awarded more than $60,000 over 30 years to young duck callers attending 32 different colleges and universities in 13 states, according to Bell. The scholarship honors the memories of Stuttgart’s legendary championship duck callers and duck call makers, Chick and Sophie Major. On Nov. 23, hopefuls can give their best feather-ruffling calls for this year's scholarship.
