Is it true you can get a scholarship just for being hispanic?

Answer 1

Sadly, yes. Often, there are other conditions attached, like a certain GPA and such, but the most important part about these kinds of scholarships is that they are often closed off to other races, especially whites and asians, making them effectively a racist vehicle for advancement. I am hispanic and I'd rather be dead than accept this kind of insulting charity.

Answer 2

This was an action taken by the council of Hispanic students advisory to protect your chance. The problem raised from the Persian American students who infiltrated the Hispanic students union and started receiving a lot of funds and scholarships as Hispanic students. A lot of young Hispanic people never made it to universities but "Persians" do because of the loop holes they do know and most of them came to the US with existing education (parents) and money they stole from their country of origin which gave them a better chance. Just look at the Hispanic students union and you will always find a covert Persian there. Hispanic is not a race it is a culture. I do agree with them asking you to prove it so the covert Persians won't be able to steal your chance.

Answer 3

yes there are. There are some based on your GPA and some based on what school you plan to attend. Try these websites:

www.fastweb.com
www.hsf.net (the hispanic scholarship fund)
www.hispanicfund.org (hispanic college fund)
www.scholarshipsforhispanics.org
www.statefarm.com/foundati/hispanic.htm
www.scholarshipsforhispanics.com

Im sure there are more but these are the ones I can think of right off...Good Luck and dont let the PP discourage you from accepting any of these scholarships. They were created to help the hispanic commuity to attain higher education that statisticall they would not be able to afford on their own.

Answer 4

No. But there are scholarships out there just for hispanics. It doesn't mean you will get it just because you are hispanic. They take in other factors like your gpa, community services, extracurriculars, etc.
