When I was in grad school, my program had 2 scholarships that I could have applied for:
— The Minority Student Scholarship
— The Martin Luther King Jr Scholarship
I didn’t bother with the paperwork because it was pretty clear I was going to be discriminated against.
I know a guy who got his US citizenship his junior year at Tulane. Went down to the financial aid office, applied for, and got some sort of African-American scholarship. He says it was basically a free ride his senior year.
He is a white South African emigre.
Apparently the black clerk in the financial aid office wasn’t amused, but I guess she wasn’t calling the shots.
