How can I set up a scholarship fund that gives preference to students of certain racial backgrounds without appearing discriminatory?
user
In order to setup a scholarship fund that gives preference to students of certain racial backgrounds without appearing discriminatory, criteria can be established based on financial need, academic merit and community service performed in communities where the recipient’s ethnicity is prevalent. The selection process must avoid any individual making direct decisions regarding who receives the funds as direct or indirect preferences for or against individuals on the basis of race are prohibited by law. Additionally, admission to and administration of these funds may require careful adherence to tax laws and reporting requirements in order to prevent penalties and fines.

You could consider setting up a scholarship fund that gives preferences to students who belong to underrepresented racial backgrounds, such as American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian. These preference criteria should be clearly stated in the guidelines of the scholarship fund. This can help you reach out to individuals of certain racial backgrounds without appearing discriminatory.
