Maybe my answer is too rational, but this is what the game theory predicts:
If you’re in the U.S., I reckon it slighly (but only slightly) improves your chances (if you’re an overweight person), because if somebody else is as qualified as you are and wins this scholarship, you can sue the scholarship administration for discrimination. They know it, so they’ll give the scholarship to you. If somebody else is objectively better qualified than you, then this person should get it.
So, the person’s weight can be a tie-breaker, but not a decisive factor.
