A controversial “whites only” scholarship has put a Rhode Island university on the map for all the wrong reasons.
The College Republicans, a student group at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island, offered the $250 scholarship as a “parody” of other bursaries aimed specifically at ethnic minorities. The application for the scholarship included requests for a photo to “confirm whiteness,” and that “Evidence of bleaching will result in disqualification.”
The winner of the scholarship, Adam Noska, decided to donate his money to a relief fund for victims of a night club fire that happened in Rhode Island last year.
This is not the first time the College Republicans have made headlines, however.
Also this month, the group brought in anti-affirmative action speaker Reginald Jones to speak during Black History Month, and accused the annual celebration of promoting socialism.
