Texas Group Will Offer Scholarships To White Men Only

Texas Group Will Offer Scholarships To White Men Only: A new Texas non-profit plans to extend scholarship support to those they say are undersupported in higher education: white men.

The group, called the Former Majority Association for Equality, was formed by Texas State University student Colby Bohannan and others and hopes to provide four $500 scholarships to white men by July (donations are being accepted via the group's website).

The group's mission statement says that it wants to 'provide monetary aid to those that have found the scholarship application process difficult because they do not fit into certain categories or any ethnic group.'

Bohannan told Reuters that the group's goal 'is actually just to help students.'
