>http://fao.fas.harvard.edu/
>Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers announced in February 2004 a major new initiative designed to encourage talented students from families of low and moderate income to attend Harvard College. While the new initiative has four major components, including recruitment, admissions, and a summer academic program designed to prepare talented students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds for college, the financial aid component increases aid for students from low and moderate income families. Beginning with the 2004-05 year, parents in families with incomes of less than $40,000 will no longer be expected to contribute to the cost of attending Harvard for their children. In addition, Harvard will reduce the contributions expected of families with incomes between $40,000 and $60,000."

>See anything there specifically for minority students? It says "families of low and moderate income."

>To answer your original question, whether your kids can find money, yeah, I bet they can. Based on your ethnic background, religion, fraternal organizations, or their interests, hobbies, work experiences, etc., etc., etc. There are also tons of scholarship contests which kids can enter by writing an essay or filling out a form or whatever.

>There are millions of dollars of scholarships floating around out there, and bright kids who work at it can put together a very nice portfolio of funds with some effort. Most of them are targeted at some specific group, but almost any kid can find something that applies.

Which ones are specifically for MAJORITY (non-minority) students?
