Gates Foundation Gives In and Stops Discriminating by Race – WSJ

The Gates Foundation says it will end racial exclusion in its flagship college-aid initiative, the Gates Scholarship. As of Sunday afternoon, the foundation s website still describes the program as being limited to high-school seniors who are from at least one of the following ethnicities: African-American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian & Pacific Islander American, and/or Hispanic American. But in a statement to the Journal late Friday afternoon, a spokesperson said it has been decided to expand eligibility to all Pell Grant-eligible students i.e., those with low incomes, regardless of race.
