Everyone has heard about left-handed scholarships — a scholarship available to college students just for being left-handed. Most people probably just assume that it's an urban legend, but the truth is that such a scholarship does exist. The best part of all is that it is only offered to Juniata students. While I was researching this scholarship, I came across some pretty odd scholarships, so I decided to post some of them here.
