If this scholarship is for ILLEGAL aliens exclusively and US citizens do not qualify, it pushes the envelope and is possibly a violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a).

(a) In general Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.
