Have a problem with minority scholarships?

We Answered:

Even at black colleges, many of you still cannot graduate. Recently, there was a white man at Morehouse that was valedictorian. A white man crapped on crap! Stunning!

Can A White Person From Africa Get A College Minority Scholarship?

We Answered:

Fantastic question. My family is South African , so I hear where you are coming from. You need to be very careful and make sure to read all the rules and be in total compliance. For example, make sure questions ask about "ethnicity" and not "race". Certainly don't hide through omission. If you have any opportunity to disclose on the check-boxes, do so. For example, if you have the option of checking off ethnicity of White as well as African descent (though not African American in your case), then check both. In my opinion, going out of your way to volunteer information is not necessary, so long as you make your situation known through the forms available.

That being said, I would also think very carefully about the risks. There's a strong bias against your doing this. Is it worth the risk? You might run into the attitude of "you know what we meant." It's certainly way better to miss out on scholarship money than it is to be 1) blacklisted 2) face disciplinary action 3) disciplined.

When I applied to law school, I remember a lot of the schools asked the "ethnicity" question. For example, they asked Japanese / Korean / Pacific Islander, etc. They also asked "White" and "African American". "White" was the only race option there, the rest were ethnicity. So, it's a hard line to draw. (and, I just selected "white" because, even though I thought the African American answer was correct, it was not worth running into any problems).

As for answers about a white person's ancestry not being "African", I find it a little odd that peoples living in a certain area for 400 years wouldn't qualify for such ancestry. Taken just one step further, I suppose then that there is no such thing as "native american descent" and "northern african descent", or "polynesian descent".

Good luck!

Try to go departmental. The sums are smaller but the competition is easier to beat.
