I've always heard about scholarships for unusual traits! As a left-handed person, I'm curious if there are scholarships specifically for lefties. It sounds a bit weird but maybe it's worth looking into!
Absolutely, there's at least one scholarship out there specifically for left-handed students. The Frederick and Mary F. Beckley Scholarship is one you might want to check out. It's available for left-handed students who will be attending Juniata College in Pennsylvania. This scholarship was established by two left-handed alumni and awards are $1,500.
It's important to note, however, that this scholarship is not merely awarded for being left-handed. The selection committee also considers applicants' academic achievements, leadership abilities, and financial need, among other factors.
Beyond this, I encourage you to look for scholarships that match other aspects of your profile including your academic interests, extracurricular activities, intended major, and more. There are thousands of scholarships out there, so try not to limit your search based solely on being left-handed. Best of luck with your scholarship search!
