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.
