Left Handed Scholarships
"Are Few And Far Between"

If you are looking for educational assistance for lefties on the web, read this first. Everyone and everything has an aid for higher education named after them so of course there has to be several for southpaws, right? Wrong. Left Handed Scholarships are just not out there.

I search constantly to find financial aid (i.e. scholarships, grants, etc.) for left handed students. One that is currently available for left handers is $1,000 offered by Juniata College in Huntington, Pennsylvania. If You want to check the school out go to www.juniata.edu.

Even though there are no Left Handed Scholarships, there are some very good scholarship  and college locator websites (which I use) that are available for not only left handed people but for anyone pursuing a higher education. These sites are free or cost very little! I encourage you to sign up for all of these to increase your chances of getting a scholarships and finding the right college for you.

•  BestCollegeInsider  - helps people jumpstart their career by earning the degree that is right for them!
• The Scholarship & Grant Guide - the world's largest scholarship guide
• Complete Guide To College Funding -a very helpful tool to guide students through the maze of college financing to understand all the ins and outs. Plus some excellent free bonuses
• Student Advantage - the nation’s most widely-accepted student discount card

TIP: create a separate email account (example: johndoe_scholarships@gmail.com) to keep scholarship offers organized in one place and out of your normal email account. 

 Another way to earn free money for college is to join UpromiseIt's easy to join and once you're a member you register your credit cards with them and every time you make a purchase a little goes into an account for you (Members direct their spending to Upromise partners—including more than 600 online stores, 8,000+ restaurants, thousands of grocery and drugstore items—and earn money for college.) You can even have family and friends register in your account and save even more! Over the years I have saved thousands for my children.

Here is where the fun begins!

I have, in the works, a fund for left handers, which with your help, I add to on a regular basis with the funds from purchases from my website and from you simply clicking on ads of interest to you.

In general, the "award" rules will be:

1. Essay Driven Contest for lefties

2. Top 5 Essays will be posted and voted on by my "Being Left Handed" guests (you)

3. Funded by my website, affiliates, possible grant money, and generous contributions

4. Awarded Periodically

I hope this will take off and become a nationally recognized award. Money for lefties to pursue their dreams is a great idea, don't you think?

Don't give up hope, even if there are not Left Handed Scholarships, there's a scholarship out there waiting for you.
