Financing a higher education is easy if you are a lefty and attending Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa. Thanks to a southpaw benefactor who felt discriminated against, junior and senior lefties can get up to $1,000 a year as long as they need help. The scholarship is just one in a long list of odd grants, some tied to a specific school but most for the college of your choice. Which ones do you qualify for?
