Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Those questions that ask for you to state your ethnicity are always optional- but if you do want to state it, you can always put other. If you want a scholarship, it would probably be best for you to state that you are African American, even if you're not full-blooded (just so that they at least have proof). Also, you do not need to be full-blooded African American to be considered for the scholarship. This country is comprised of a huge mix of almost any ethnicity you can imagine- so many people are of mixed ethnicity, like yourself.. even people who consider themselves to be African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, etc., etc., are often a mix of different ethnicities. Good luck with the scholarship and any academic goals!

Im not too sure what you are asking.
But talk to your parents.
They would probably know about your background, although i cant guarantee it.
