but I think it is kind of bad that there are more available to disabled people, when, lots of people want the scholarship as a stepping stone to a flying career, which, unfortunately, many disabled people wouldn't be able to do...
Nobody else has pointed it out, so I will...your statement makes no sense.

If somebody is able bodied enough (read, "medically fit") to complete a full flying scholarship (ie a full PPL) they will have the medical standards required to complete a CPL. I'm a bit out of date, but only a UK NPPL relaxes the medical standards and then by not that much.

A significantly disabled/handicapped person would not be allowed to solo, let alone gain a licence of any sort.

I think you are mixing up scholarships with some sort of air experience flying.
