The group, Boston University College Republicans, told campus publications the $250 Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship was intended as a statement and they had raised funds privately for the award, which does not have the backing of the university.
"We think giving out a scholarship based on any race is crazy," Joe Mroszczyk, president of the group, told the college's BU Today Web site.
Of all the groups to do this... why am I not surprised its a Republican one?
I understand the debate regarding "what is taking affirmative action to the point of reverse discrimination" only too well. Just recently on the ballot this month was a measure asking about it.
Would they be protesting if it was somthing like, say, scholarships to the child of a veteran? I've seen those around a lot. THere's so many scholarship sites adn opportunities, even OUTSIDE the school designed ones, even if the competition is fierce, that it seems like theres other ways to go about getting money. Maybe if we brought the FEDERAL financial aid packages up to the times....j
I really wonder which caucasian students will APPLY for this scholarship!
At any rate, college is unaffordable for pretty much EVERYONE right now, so i see why people might be eyeing other peoples scholarships jealously. But as unnaffordable as it is to a middle class white family, its even MORE unaffordable to students of many other ethnicities. So I stand with the school in encouraging diversity on their campus.

That sounds awesome because I am in one of the worst situations to get money mid-class, white, parents are married, and no one in my family has military experience.

I'm in the same state of college finances it's just not fair, everyone should get the same chance and have to work just as hard to get the same chance. I belive that there is some document from this country that started with "All men are created equal..."
