A national report by financial aid guru Mark Kantrowitz finds that minority students are less likely to win private scholarships or receive merit-based institutional grants than white students

The analysis, based on 2003-04 and 2007-08 data for hundreds of thousands of students from the National Post-secondary Student Aid Study, found that nationally, white students are 40% more likely to win private scholarships than minority students. Unfortunately, the analysis does not distinguish between Jewish and gentile white students.
