Scholarships for minorities fill a need: #tellusatoday

We asked our Twitter followers whether ending a "whites only" scholarship should lead to ending scholarships for minorities. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

When we achieve true equal opportunity, do away with affirmative action scholarships. Until then, keep them.

— @NCJarhead

A student should not have a better chance at a scholarship just because he or she is a minority. Students should have equal chances.

— @stoll_some_time

Scholarships should not be given for race. They should be given to those who excel in their area.

— @Akendallphoto

Most universities have race specific grants or scholarships, so I believe they should stay.

— @mmafootball81

With a lot of scholarships established for every gender, ethnicity and religion, why not keep them?

— @CaldwellDarwin

Education knows no color. All students should get an equal shot at scholarships regardless of race.

— @SinclairCC

Everyone should get a scholarship. It shouldn't matter what race they are.
