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 I'm a bit out of date, but only a UK NPPL relaxes the medical standards and then by not that much.
Not quite. To get a PPL an EASA Class 2 medical is required. If you wanted to progress down the commercial route this would need to be upgraded to a Class 1, which has numerous restrictions regarding disabilities.

As for scholarships, look at the Air League. Think they still offer a few I think
