Universities Across The Country Still Grant Hundreds Of DEI Scholarships

Institutions of higher education across the country are still offering hundreds of scholarships tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology, despite the fact that the federal government has made it clear that race and gender preferences will no longer be tolerated.

A new report from Defending Education (DE), reviewed by The Federalist, shows numerous scholarships aimed at giving “queer identifying” students or those who “identify as POC [People of Color]” special treatment because of their race or incoherent claim about sexual identity.

“It’s hard to believe that so many colleges and universities decided that being on the right side of history meant discriminating based on race and sex when awarding scholarships to students,” Erika Sanzi, DE director of outreach, told The Federalist. “It’s even harder to believe that their lawyers let them do it since it is such an egregious violation of federal law.”

The report serves both as an archive of past DEI-related scholarships and those currently available, and it identifies 596 scholarships from 123 colleges or universities across 48 states.

As the Trump administration has been trying to get schools to stop their programs that are violative of civil rights, some institutions have attempted to hide, rebrand, or clandestinely continue their operation, while others have brazenly maintained theirs in the open to challenge the crackdown.
