Good question. For the purposes of the StraightForward Media Minority Scholarship, minority is defined as having membership in a racial or ethnic minority group historically disadvantaged within the context of the United States. The most common members of these groups are Black/African American students, Hispanic/Latino/Chicano students, Asian students and Native American/American Indian/Eskimo students.
Exceptions? We anticipate two frequent questions: 1) I am male, and men are a gender minority in the U.S. May I apply?; and 2) I am a Caucasian female. Am I considered a minority, and therefore may I apply? The answer to both these questions is no; however, the good news is, there are plenty of other scholarships you’re eligible for.

What about queer identified students?
What about Caucasian female students who are JEWISH?
What about a Hispanic female students?
You know what, older POOR white females are minorities and we are always over looked and poor whites are always ignored, especially old poor white femail students.
We are discriminated against for our age and social status.
Youre an idiot.
Yea maybe, but that is might right!
I am Lebanese/American studying at LSU, I have been living in Lebanon for most of my life, does that count as a minority ?

What about homeschooled students, I feel like a minority with how much society relies on public schooling.
