People are acting like colleges don’t purposely give out scholarships and purposely accept more poc and queer kids rather than people actually qualified and worthy of it because they wanna advertise inclusivity but all they’re doing is using “minorities” to make themselves look better. As someone who didn’t qualify for financial aid, white girl, and parents have good jobs, I can’t afford to put myself through school anymore, im in my senior year and I have to drop out bc I can’t afford shit

Look what you’re going through is not great but that doesn’t give you an excuse to be a pos. Scholarships are disproportionately awarded to white people there’s already data that backs it up. So saying colleges accept more poc just as a diversity acceptance and not their own merit is WILDLY fucking ignorant. Check your fucking privilege

45 universities were investigated for violations of Title VI. Even Ivy League universities were on that list. Seven other schools were investigated for race-based scholarships and race-based segregation. DEI is used to bring racial stereotypes and explicit race-consciousness into the education system. Do you not remember any of that going down? Or did the media silence it and push it down cuz god forbid that any minority is involved with something wrong 😬

I have a good gpa and good grades, have searched and applied to DOZENS. The struggle is that I need 24k in loans by the end of next month or I won’t be able to go to school next semester. My parents have zero savings, I have zero savings, I work paycheck to paycheck, and my parents and won’t sign on loans. I don’t know what’s hard to understand here

The fact im white only has to do with this because I don’t have eligibility for any minority scholarships, I DO have epilepsy so I even applied to scholarships for that, but like the competition is too fuckin insane like, I have never seen a DIME from scholarships and ive applied to so many. My school is literally looking t options to help me because ive exhausted all options

Hi! I mentioned being white because yes there are plenty of scholarships for minorities and I NEVER said that’s a bad thing, I’m pan you absolute fucking cunt. I live with my grandparents and do not speak to my dad. My mom is remarried to a man everyone disapproves of which is why I do not live with her. AS I MENTIONED. in my other responses to #1 , I live with my grandparents, because I AM lucky enough to have bare necessities, but NOT lucky enough to get a shit load of scholarships or money

I didn’t compare or try to privilege anything 😬 YOU assumed I was being homophobic, YOU assumed I was straight and cis, YOU assumed all these things. Sorry that I use my brain and think logically and don’t accuse people of things just to make them look like an even worse person 😢 but ur right poor u
