    There are tons of scholarships for minorities out there; from the Microsofts Bill Gates minority scholarships, to the many Hispanic and African American scholarships. Again, the qualifications are fair for all these minority scholarships and should be persued like a vengence (fill out all paperwork required: even if it takes a week to fill out) because it will be well worth it. Scholarship search engines are good if you use a big one that deals with all the schools in the country otherwise you could miss out on some seriuos monies. This website has one in the right hand top area on Home page which is very good and has good results. The main thing is to do whats neccessary to fill out or check online to see what you can get. That’s all it takes sometime.
