I have friends who get scholarships b/c they went to Catholic schools, friends who get scholarships b/c they are also apart of an Italian-American or Irish-American ethnicity.

Provided those scholarships are given by private organizations, there's nothing wrong with them. I've heard of scholarships for left handers, people named Kelly, and all sorts of 'discriminatory' designations. The problem is when the government does it based on race, which, whether SCOTUS can recognize it or not, is a violation of the 14th Amendment.

How about kids of Alumni, that discriminates also. I believe in just pure academic excellence paired with a good interview as the means to choose students.
