Non-academic scholarships-Yay or nay?

[KappaTarzan]

i may be biased on this, because i recieved a non academic scholarship.. it was for students with the rare bleeding disorder i have. it is genetically inherited, but most people merely carry the disorder, not express it as i do.. through the american hemophaliac society (which doesn't deal just with hemophalia) i recieved a scholarship to help pay for my first year of college expenses... this was paid for by people who have the disorder, adn wished to donate to help others with it...
