Left-handers Scholarship
myUsearch to award $1000 scholarship for left-handed people
According to a 1998 study, roughly seven percent of the world population is left-handed, equating to nearly fifty million left-handers worldwide. Many theories suggest that left-handed individuals are more intelligent and likely to succeed than their right-handed counterparts. All three major candidates in the 1992 U.S. Presidential election were left-handed and according to most resources, six U.S. presidents have been left-handed. However, despite the fact that left-handed students may be more likely to succeed, there are very few scholarships designed specifically for left-handed people. myUsearch.com, an unbiased online service that helps students find a college has recently announced a new scholarship for left-handers.
myUsearch.com will offer a $1000 scholarship to the left-handed student with the best response to these questions: "What is the biggest challenge you face in earning a college degree? What can colleges and universities do to help you overcome this challenge and encourage other people with similar changes to further their education?"
Scholarship Requirements:
The scholarship deadline is July 1, 2010. All left-handed scholarship applicants must:
1. Be left handed
2. Have a yearly combined household income of less than $100,000
3. Plan to pursue an undergraduate degree at an accredited U.S. college or university. No graduate school applicants will be accepted.
4. Have NOT yet enrolled in a U.S. college or university and once enrolled, plan to start their first semester on or before October of 2010.
5. Have never attended the college or university in which the scholarship will be applied. This scholarship is for first year and transfer students only.
