You seem surprised by the fact there were scholarships that targeted specific people. As a white, middle class, male looking for college 2 years ago I did a little research. At a certain website i di a search for myself for scholarships i got 27 results. After changing myself to a minority I got 71 results. And as a female minority 94. Needless to say I complained about it, and once I got to college joked about it with all my other white middle class male classmates. We plan on starting a white middle class male scholarship fund in a few years(j/k).
There is currently a case in supreme court in which some people are sueing michigan state for giving favor to minorities. If they rule in favor of the people more than likely there will be a domino effect to these scholarships.
I've been very happy to see the number of scholarships increase alot over the past few years. Maybe with all these colleges getting teams there will be active recruiting like there are for football and basketball.
