Someone told me (a teacher, but I'm not so sure how credible she is, she's pretty old) that you can get a scholarship for being a certain ethnicity. Huh?
I'm Russian and I speak Russian, do I qualify? Is there even such a thing?

Talk to your guidance counselor or do some research on different cultural centers or organizations, either nationally, or in your area, and you might come up with something you can apply for. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

Even for like people who have been injured in farm related accidents, haha. Seriously though. Yeah, there's probably some sort of scholarship for that. Ask your guidance counselor for a list of scholarships or google it. Collegeboard.com might bring you to some scholarship links. There's a million you might be eligable for.
Also, being a certain ethnicity might get you into college over someone who's just straight up white. Maybe that's what she meant. It increases your chances, which I think is kinda messed up, but that's the way it is haha. [ boxocrackas's advice column | Ask boxocrackas A Question ]
