Left Handed?

Believe it or not you can get a scholarship for that! Left handed scholarships are actually one of the the more popular and widely known of the weird scholarships that I have researched, but, I know there are many that are still not aware that you can get a scholarship for something as simple as being left handed.

It has been suggested that left handed people are more intelligent and more creative than their right handed counterparts. I highly doubt this hypothesis but if you look at some of the more notable lefties in our history I can see how some one could come to this conclusion. Here are just a few famous left handed people:

  • Presidents Garfield, Hoover, Truman, Ford, Reagan, H.W. Bush, Clinton, and Obama are/were all left handed.
  • Famous artist including Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci…
  • Singers  and musicians including Jimmy Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Phil Collins…
  • A Huge list of Actors such as Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro, Charlie Chaplin, and many, many more.
  • Other notable famous left handed people include Joan of Arc, Alexander the Great,  Several Royals,  Henry Ford, Larry Bird and countless others.

Ok, so we could probably put together a list of famous right handed folks as well, but still pretty impressive!
