I think to be able to apply for scholarship you need to be member of one of the listed STEM organizations. All of the listed STEM organizations seems to be only for women, black and hispanic. What about normal people from normal school?

I would recommend rephrasing as "What about everybody else from all the other schools?"
Your assumption is not true, please see below:

You must also be enrolled part-time or full-time in a course of study, or be a member or alumni of one of the listed STEM organizations. [1]

-- Key word there is 'OR'

I'm only replying to this in order to help others; I think you should strongly reconsider your use of the word 'normal', especially when using it in a way that could be misconstrued as a comparison against minorities or other groups of people, i.e. excluding 'women, black and hispanic' from being 'normal'.
