diversity scholarships
Minority student aid
Diversity scholarships are financial awards for students from underrepresented groups—typically based on race, ethnicity, gender, disability, or socioeconomic background.
Universities and organizations offer them to increase representation in fields or institutions where certain populations have been historically excluded: She received a diversity scholarship to attend law school.
Critics argue they amount to preferential treatment; supporters see them as correcting systemic imbalances.
