Trying to find information on setting up college funds for my nieces, I came across this FAQ list that includes one of the greatest questions ever:
Misc. and Unusual Questions
1. I have heard about a scholarship for left-handed students. Can you tell me more information about it?
This question comes up frequently, because the popular press and scholarship matching services like to use it as an example of unusual scholarships.
The only scholarship for left-handed students is the Frederick and Mary F. Beckley Scholarship of up to $1,000. This scholarship is awarded to left-handed students who will be attending Juniata College. This scholarship is not available to students who aren’t enrolled at Juniata College. For more information, write to Office of Student Financial Planning, Juniata College, 1700 Moore Street, Huntington, PA 16652.
Of course, this led me to look for other bizarre scholarships. If I knew about this stuff, I wouldn’t have pretended to have Serbo-Croatian and Navajo parents when I filled out my financial aid application.
if only I’d known then what I know now!! why was I so naive?? –
Hi! I meant to thank you for the lovely comic book. I have never read one all the way through. How fun! Thanks for the great gift but tell Amy I am still scared of that ham. The colors! The colors!
