This is true. Though I met a girl whose parents were from South Africa (and she looked like Charlize Theron--- South African women are BEAUTIFUL) who said she lost a college scholarship when she showed up for class.

She had marked her ethnicity as African-American and the college accused her of fraud. In retrospect she should have hired a lawyer.

A classmate of mine in HS did something similar, threatened to sue, and won.

He was the son of Morrocan-Jewish parents and logically wrote on his application that he was African-American. His parents were born in Africa.
He dutifully went off to Brown on a partial scholarship. The university found out that he was not black and threatened to expell him and charge him for the scholarship money given, plus full tuition. As you can expect, the family got a lawyer and the university decided to rescind the threat.
