myUsearch 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 is offering a $1000 scholarship for left handers.
