Whites Only Scholarship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Whites Only Scholarship was founded by Jason Mattera, a Roger Williams University student and member of the school Republican Party. The scholarship stunt received mainstream press coverage[1] and drew criticism from many organizations. Due to this and other actions, the college republicans were condemned by Rhode Island's Republican Party, and are no longer allowed to use a capital "R" in their name [2].
