There are 0 merit scholarships available to whites. All scholarships at the major state universities in my state have a race based restriction. So the scholarships aren’t merit, or <race>, but race + merit, presumably to help filter out and select applicants. I was shocked when I found this information; I assumed that most states had race-blind merit scholarships, but that isn’t the case I guess. |

False. There are both non-school private, school-based, and many state programs open to Whites, and, in fact, whites receive them disproportionately under many of the programs. [0]
> All scholarships at the major state universities in my state have a race based restriction.
Even if that’s true (and the claim is vague enough that is impossible to conclusively falsify without reviewing the scholarships available at major state universities in all 50 states), there is a big difference between “there are no merit scholarships available to whites” and “there are no merit scholarships funded at the major state universities in my unspecified state that are open to whites” (and even if the latter was true, there are non-school-specific merit scholarships open to Whites that could be used at those schools.)
