LEAGUE CITY, Texas -- A nonprofit group is awarding scholarships to high school students, but only white males qualify.Ryan Ward, 18, received a $500 check from the Former Majority Association for Equality on Monday. He will attend the University of Texas in the fall and said he found the application for the scholarship online.

"I believe the scholarships are out for those who create them," Ward said.

"I'm just grateful for whatever I receive."Ward is the sixth student to receive one of the ethnically based scholarships from the FMAFE, which was organized by students at Texas State University.

"What we just did today is provide the first ethnically based scholarship specifically for Caucasian males in the history of the country,"

FMAFE president Colby Bohannan said.Similar scholarships have been offered by college Republican groups at Boston University, Williams and the University of Missouri.Bohannan said the group is not politically aligned and does not care about affirmative action."There are not enough scholarships out there to go around for everybody,"

Bohannan said. "So if there are millions of scholarships out there, we're still not reaching every single family."The group planned to hold its ceremony Monday on the steps of Clear Creek High School, but it ended up moving it to the sidewalk when the principal found out what was happening.The group said it has raised about $20,000 and plans to give out more scholarships next year.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this.

There better not be protests when we have scholarships for pretty much every other group. Fair is fair.

And soon there will be White only Milk Bars.

I do see something wrong with it. It's the same thing that's wrong with any ethnically based scholarship, though, and I can't say this is any better or worse than any of those. It's their right to award scholarships based on the criteria they choose, so long as they have no government involvement.

I'm with razark on this one.

Outstanding!

My friend got rejected from MIT because they hadn't met their race quota - at least thats what he told me.

I have no problem with this. Now I want to see Miss White America. I like my girls European. Not a problem.

Go Texas!

actually, this is one of the first things I've seen Texas do that i like. as a college student now...and one who is a "wasp" or a White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, Male, I am glad to see a scholarship just for us. We are a race aren't we? there's tons of scholarships for the "minorities" and they are given special treatment in college especially when it comes to Admissions and scholarships. I was wait listed for Michigan State University (who ironically doesn't have my major) while every Woman or Minority member in my class magically got in. They all said my essay must have been bad, ignoring the fact that 9/10 of the males who applied there in my school were rejected. I'll also add the fact that I was still rejected even though I would have been a 3rd generation spartan with 9 people in my family attending MSU. I even had a person of Latino decent say that all he would have to do was drop an App into MSU and he would just about be accepted on the spot. What I was told at the time, and I remember now was that in 2009 in the height of the great recession MSU was being very selective, and only taking the cream of the crop if you weren't Female or some kind of a minority.

so yes, I feel the shoe is on the other foot in college, and that they have spent so much time on the noble task (that's not sarcasm BTW) of helping minorities that people like me have slipped through the cracks when it comes to scholarships and admissions.

I dont think that there is anything wrong with this at all there are tons of other interest groups giving out scholarships to various races and ethnic groups.

Your buddy is full of it you see they can not tell you that you did not get hired for a job or not accepted to a school for racial reasons even if that reason was AA in fact I don't think they give you any reason besides "you did" or "did get accepted".

Also MIT would never reject anyone if they had good enough scores we are talking about one of the most prestigious schools in the US the world for that matter they are seeking people with potential.You friend probably did not have good enough scores to get in or he did not write his entry essays and what not very well he got axed for some failing on his own part.

Have you been to Europe? Because "European" women is very vast you have Scandinavian women,English women,German women,Italian women,
Spanish women,to name a few and there all many stereotypes about them.

White Americans are basically mutts to be honest a mixture of various European groups with the WASP being the most "powerful". I mean I have German,Dutch,English,and Scottish and a pinch of Cherokee in my veins.

That is why I find those racial questions to be a pile of BS how many people on earth are purely one thing?

Also Miss White America does not need any more help there are tons of women's interest groups out there.
The women that get trodden by abusive men either foolish believe that they deserve it or if they are say a
drug addicted prostitute well they got themselves into that little bind the stronger willed gte them selves out of either situation.

Outstanding!

Wow the neo nazi put a new sig up for "patriots"

The only problem would be if it was pushing education from groups of people like the above mentioned poster.
But since this group is just a small publicity stunt which must spend far more of their "charitable" donatations than it gives out then fairplay to them for screwing over their donors

I like my girls European.

No luck with the locals then
