If the school takes even one penny from the state or the federal government then anyone should be able to apply. However, if they are totally funded by the trust then I think they should be able to offer scholarships to native Hawaians only.

You should have seen some of these people speaking out on TV against this little boy. The US Attny here in Hawaii had to come of TV and warn them that to incite any action against this boy would be a hate crime. There was certainly no aloha on their faces yesterday. They were nasty, saying the other students would hurt the boy and that would be what is to be expected. It's getting hot over here.
