(xpost) Why is it so hard to find a scholarship as a white guy ?

the big scholarships that are actually worth something tend to be open to everyone a few minority scholarships doesn't really put a dent on the average guy's funding.

Plus, you're excluded from all sorts of scholarships, but the ones you can apply for are not expressly for you so you're still competing with people who have access to all the others as well.

Although it was fifteen years ago at this point, it was still easier for me to work through school than to bother with scholarships. That was the plan anyways, the real result was to leave school for the "Intarnets bubble!", then go back when it burst.

Apparently only 4% of scholarship money excludes based on race. Perhaps there are a lot of small ones included in that, but it doesn't seem very significant to me.

The response to "why is there no white history month" tends to be "because every month is white history month" and while I can't be bothered googling stats, it's likely that the same thing applies.

Besides, white families make a hell of a lot more money than black on average so it seems pretty fair to me. It's not government money, is it?

Same argument for gender, though no idea which gender gets what proportion so that may well be sexist.

I doubt if there are any because it would cause an uproar. For example, look at how badly all the White power groups are treated around the world (granted a lot of them are hideously racist) but they essentially exist for the same reason black rights, etc. It's the whole freedom of speech thing gone wrong and that's why people don't like the MRM because for a long time through history men have been "superior".

You're better off as a White male lookin around for companies that give scholarships based on the subject itself as there are plenty that give them out

because white guys are all rich and don't require financial aid
