So how shall I change in order to get more money...

Okay...so a minor rant. I'm on fastweb and I'm filling out all this personal info crapola And you get to the Personal Attribute Checklist. Here it is. Apparently, I have no personal attributes according to this exhaustive list. I'm putting the ones I find particularly preposterous in bold.
Adopted
Against the Death Penalty (But strangely enough, no "For the Death Penalty.")
Bilingual (I'm working on that.... :( )
Birth mother who has child placed for adoption
Bisexual
Canadian Citizen Technically, if we had been on the ball I could have gotten a dual citizenship, but it wouldn't be recognized by the U.S.
Cancer, siblings diagnosed with
Cathedral Home for Children, former resident
Clinically Overweight (This gives me great joy to know that when I become a walrus, I could possibly qualify for some scholarships. )
Displaced Homemaker
Domestic Abuse, Victim/Survivor of (Because there are a lot of people who don't survive Domestic abuse applying for scholarships.... Sorry. That was mean and insensitive. But....they didn't need the "Survivor of" one. I know, I know, it's a technical term. But Technically...)
Drug Conviction (And I'd get a SCHOLARSHIP FOR THIS??? They seem to downplay this perk in the anti-drug campaign. Maybe they'll give you money if you clean up...I certainly hope so. "Funded by The Godfather")
Farm, Raised on
Feminist
Foster Care Recipient
From a Small Town, 25000 population
Gay/Lesbian
Head of Household
Height: Women 5'10" or above, Men 6'2" or above I'm feeling very discriminated against
Last Name Van Valkenburg Seriously, my name is weirder than that. I should get PAID because my name is so messed up.
Married
Mobile Home Park Resident Uhm...wow
Orphan (Parentless) (<-- Parenthetical note for the student who honestly thinks he was delivered by storks.)
Parent
Parent of Multiples
Parent, Student with dependent Children
Political Party: Democrat
Political Party Republican (Cos we're all either one or the other. *snickers* I know what happened: The Libertarians were all hiding from the government, the Anarchists cannot possibly organize themselves into a scholarship-producing body, the Independents were indifferent, the Conservatives had no money, the Liberals....ideas anyone?, The Communists have already spent their money, and the Greens don't trade in paper currency because it destroys trees.)
Public Assistance Recipient
Public Housing Resident
Recently Immigrated to the United States
Refugee
Reservation, Resident of (See also "Domestic Violence, Victim of" or "Werewolf, High Possibility of Being" I can say these intolerant things because (a) I'm most likely partly Native American and (b) My friend worked on a reservation and has seen some heartbreaking things. My heart goes out to all the children of the reservations. You deserve better than what many of you get.)
Residence Hall Resident (Dormitory) (See also: Refugee)
September 11, Affected by Tragedy (Who wasn't? I'm tempted to click this...but I sense it is for immediate family members only.)
Single Parent
Spanish Speaking (I knew I should have studied harder...)
Student, One of Multiples (Twins...etc)
Survivor of Domestic Violence (See my comment for "Victim")
Transgender
Transplant Recipient
Transplant Candidate
Undocumented Immigrant (Won't. Say. A Thing.)
Vegetarian (Seriously. You get money for "don't eat no meat"? O.O)
