Do any SUNY colleges offer a scholarship to African Americans majoring in Biochemistry?

We Answered:

Colleges and universities are barred from offering scholarships which discriminate on the basis of race/ethnicity/etc. The scholarships available would be open to anyone who met the requirements, and you would compete on the basis of meeting those qualifications.

If you want a scholarship "for African-Americans" investigate race-based organizations like NAACP.

If you are attending a high school in New York State, you should take the exam for Regents Scholarships, which can be used at any SUNY college/university.

If a "white" African moves to America, will he/she qualify for African-American scholarships/Grants?

We Answered:

There was a case of this in the news a few years ago. A white South African moved here (I think he applied for an African American college scholarship and won, then they found out he was white). Sort of exposed the problems with our country defining everything by race. Unfortunatly, it never made national news enough to spark a debate.

Personally, I think if your parents were born here, you should be simply, American. If you have other roots, put them in there too (i.e. Mexican American, French American, Egyptian American, etc).
