Scholarships for unique characteristics?

Hey everyone! I've heard about scholarships being available for a variety of unique traits. Out of curiosity, is there a scholarship for being short? If so, where can I find more information about it?

Hey there! Yes, there are indeed scholarships available for a variety of unique traits, including height. For example, the Little People of America Scholarship is awarded to individuals with dwarfism (short stature typically below 4'10") based on financial need, academic success, and community involvement. You can find more information about this particular scholarship on the Little People of America website (lpaonline.org/scholarships).

Additionally, you can search for other unique scholarships on websites like CollegeVine, Fastweb, or Cappex. These platforms have extensive databases of scholarships, grants, and other financial aid opportunities catering to a wide range of different characteristics, hobbies, and fields of study.

Remember to pay attention to the eligibility criteria and deadlines for each scholarship and make sure to keep a close eye on other opportunities that may also fit your qualifications. Good luck on your scholarship search!
