If you want the scholarship, lose the dreadlocks. And get someone who is literate to rewrite the CV.
As you have presented yourself on this thread, NO-ONE is going to take a chance on you, with a number of bright, keen, equally motivated, "normal" people to choose from.
Work out later whether to regrow the dreadlocks.
I write as a long-time hirer of people, who, once upon a time, took chances on people and almost invariably regretted it.
PS To explain; when we hire pilots, we want conformists. We do not want people who want to stand out from the crowd. We want people who understand the "norms" and stay within them. Individualists are dangerous, because sooner or later they will flout the procedures. If that aspect of being a professional pilot does not appeal, then you are looking for the wrong job.
Dreadlocks are an alternative to having the words "I am not conventional" stamped on your forehead.
