	Too Tall or Too Short The average height in the United States for a male is 5'9" and for a female it ranges from 5'3'' to 5'5''. For those that fall far short or far exceed that average, there are scholarships available. Tall Clubs International offers scholarships for women who are at least 5'10'' and men who are at least 6'2''. The Billy Barty Foundation offers scholarships to "students of short stature" and the Little People of America Scholarship provides scholarships to members and their families (to join, a person must be 4'10'' or shorter).

I'm glad that I can get a scholarship for being a girl and being 6ft but it's great to know that you can get one too if you're super short. It's always great to further your education no matter what height!

Hi! My entire life I have been the tallest girl in my class. After hearing about the scholarship available for tall people, I researched the TCI and found, like you said, that the minimum requirement for women is 5'10". Now, I'm tall but my height is not 5'10" (I'm 5'7.5"). So I was wondering if there was something out there for me, where I could use my height to my advantage. Thanks for your time!

I've always been picked on, because I was shorter than the other kids in school. I've even felt bad about it, but I'm glad that I have the chance to make all them feel worse than they've made me feel; by getting a scholarship for being too short!
