Yes, in academia its pretty easy to find non-profits or government programs that sponsor exclusively certain groups based on age, sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation... pretty much any "protected class" that would get you in trouble if you were an employer.

Please note I'm not taking a stand on this one way or another. There are arguments on both sides.
