Why are there so many scholarships for minorities, and none that say "Caucasion only"?

chica bonita, they need social upliftment. Treat humanbeings equal irrespective of colour. Scholraships should be granted for all those economically weaker section of the society irrespective of colour.

I really not think there any laws. Many people have scholarship and THEY set the Stipulations as to whom can use it. Example; GPA, Woman that will Nurse in a Certain State for a few years, maybe a Dyslexic person, private college vs. public college.\nI would first contact the Specific College I want the Scholarship to be at, maybe the person's College. If you want multiple colleges you may want to contact the State Education Board.

There are many scholarships out there for different characteristics out there. All the sources are free.\n\nFirst, fill out FAFSA.ed.gov because it will help tap into need based financial aid from the college and the federal government.\n\nSecond, 35 states offer a website where a student can apply for college grants and college admission at the same time. If your state does not have a website, search the state government's website for college grants.\n\nThird, most college financial aid websites and some college major websites offer a list of private scholarships given by companies and organizations. Also, some colleges offer legacy scholarships, so it might be an idea to check with the college(s) he attended or taught at.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most are updated on a regular basis. Also, a scholarship might be listed on one scholarship search website but not another.\n\nGood luck!

I think as long as there are still huge discrepancies and toothless laws that don't really work well in preventing discrimation, there should be some kind of affirmative action programs. I would like to think that at this point all we need are programs which promoted people who are entirely competitive with the rest of the population that is looking to gain college entrance or employment...... Some programs for encouraging people by giving them scholarships, job training or meals in the morning like "Head Start". It is wrong to enforce quotas based solely on race and not on ability and race together. Is this a legal question or it is about ethics and justice? It's been more than 30 years since I read anything by Plato or Kant in college, and I'm not going to debate the Bible. I guess the underlying question here is - how far should you go to try to legislate ethics and morality? In the case of affirmative action, the goal should be to raise up competent and talented minorities. It seems to be working somewhat, though progress seems slow (especially these days). I would not be in favor of continuing "affirmative action" on a permanent basis. Hopefully, soon, we'll not need it any more.

Try those big and famous schools with reserved opening for minorities, like Michigan State University (Ann Arbor). You'll have better chance for scholarship. However, I've never heard of "unconditional" scholarship. You always need to submit some paperwork for approval.

There are so many scholarships out there and they are not all focused on academics -- many are need-based and others just want to see that you are driven, or are creative, or can write a good essay.

As a black woman myself, I can say with complete confidence that I think black people are some of the most racist idiots alive. \n\nThat said, UNCF exists in order to provide scholarships to black teens wishing to attend Historically Black Universities. So if you're the first in your family to go to college and through sweat, blood, and years of hard work you manage to get into Harvard or Yale and all you need is the money to support you, you're out of luck. As far as UNCF is concerned, your education is worthless if your college of choice isn't black enough.\n\nDon't even get me started on affirmative action.

I haven't personally but my mom told me that when she was pregnant with me she went and tried to get a part-time job working at the local library and they interviewed her and told her she was perfect for the job and they would love to hire her but they'd been told by the boss that they had to hire an African American. I think also opportunities for ALL kids scholarship/admissions wise can be limited these days with people bent on meeting racial requirements instead of who deserves them. I think colleges/bosses/etc should have blindfolds on when it comes to your skin color no matter what color you are.

The United Negro College Fund is a hypacritical racist organization. No get me wrong, I'm not at all racist, but I think the U.N.C.F. is ridiculous. If someone tried to start a Caucasian College Fund, people would see it as racist just becuase white people supposedly have it better or something? I'm a white college student and I don't have any more advantages than my fellow Arican-American students. Why shouldn't I have the same financial-aid opportunities as an African-American student? I think it is terrible what African-Americans have endured in past history, but I had nothing to do with that, so I shouldn't be disadvantaged for it!

They aren't, at least not in the US.  In fact, it is the opposite.  US US universities are obligated to try and create a diverse student body.  This means racially, culturally as well as by gender.  \n\nThe idea behind this is that it benefits the students there to learn about the other cultures and peoples in the country, to prevent prejudices from ruining someone’s chances (if you don’t like a certain group you may not admit them, but you will anyway if you are required to) as well as to give chances to people to improve themselves (if you come from a very poor family, had minimal education support from your parents and had to work part-time in high school, your grades might be a bit lower than those of a wealthy candidate who didn’t have to work and whose parents invested a great deal of time and money into providing the best education and enrichment opportunities.  When comparing straight grades and test scores, you wouldn’t get a spot while the wealthier student would.  The idea behind giving you a spot despite your lower scores is first to account for your achievements despite your obstacles, and also to cut you a break, give you a chance so that your children won’t have to go through what you did and your entire family will rise in economic and social well-being). \n\nAnyway, in the US approximately 60% of applicants to colleges and universities are female, while only 40% are male.  Admissions staff must still try to create a student body as close to 50/50 that they can.  What this means is that it is harder for a female to get a place than a male.  Another way to put it is if you are a male with a 3.4 GPA and a 1280 test  score, you may be chosen over a female with a 3.6 GPA and a 1320 SAT score.   All females are competing for the same amount of spaces as all males, but there are much less males in their pool than females in theirs.

AMEN! \n\nI am sick of special programs for minorities. Where is the scholarship for the white boy who grew up poor? Certainly he has a much harder time in life than any rich minority.\n\nIf people want to be treated as equals, then they must eliminate the programs that allow them special privileges. Until I see minorities protesting against hiring quotas, hate crime laws, and other such racist things, they will not be seen as "equals". The government has many laws telling me that they are not equal to others, so how can I argue that point?
