Grants are usually need based, but scholarships usually aren’t, since many are granted based on some kind of extracurricular achievement or social legacy related to the student. For every United Negro College Fund scholarship out there, there’s a Daughters of the Confederacy scholarship or some such, to pick a particularly extreme example. From my (and maybe my sister’s) research while I attended college, this sort of funding is very prone to political back-and-forth and cultural “reactance.”
