Are you suggesting that this puts white males at a disadvantage in the software industry?

It's different because the school itself is providing the "scholarship", which is the same as a white/Asian/male surcharge. It is legal for a non-profit to provide race-specific scholarships, which is what the United Negro College Fund does. But I don't think businesses are allowed to set prices based on race or sex.
I don't need to answer that question. The general principle is that businesses are not allowed to customers different prices for the same product based on race or sex.
The base price is the same; some just aren't eligible for a scholarship. How is this different than any other scholarship?
