quote:

The program’s website stipulates that “eligible students must…identify as: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Black/African American, Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic or Latinx, or Multiracial on the application for undergraduate admission.”

quote:

When asked if being white disqualifies applicants from the scholarship, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Multicultural Student Affairs Kenyatta Shamburger told The College Fix via email: “There are student recipients who identify as white. If applicants do not meet the established criterion, as is the case with most scholarship awards, the application would not be approved.”


You can be white and receive the scholarship as long as you don't identify as white.
What is the world becoming?

eta: I just read the article again and am confused on who is eligible and who isn't

Of course it is, hopefully this school gets their arse sued off. I'm just sick of this nonsense.
