[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:47 here.  No, I wasn't saying white families don't receive financial aid, nor was I saying it's based strictly on diversity.  Not at all.  But I think most independent schools here participate in the Black Student Fund and Latino Student Fund.  Is it surprising that consideration is given to diversity in awarding financial aid?  Colleges and universities give even more consideration to this and often have special funding for racial/ethnically diverse applicants, especially in grad school.  In fact, the universities where I've taught offer higher salaries to minority faculty members in an effort to increase minority representation on their faculties.  Am I spilling the beans here?

21:02, I think it's fantastic that you got financial aid![/quote]

What does it mean when you say they participate in the BSF or LSF? Based on my research, most people of color I know earn too much money (not saying they are wealthy) to qualify for aid through either of these organizations, so if they receive aid, it is solely through the generosity of the schools' financial aid programs.[/quote]
