Actually, no.  If you set up a private fund you may give money to whatever
group you wish.  If you set up a PUBLICLY funded scholership program it had
better help the public at large in a non-discriminatory manner, but private
scholarship programs can be targeted (and many ARE targeted) at any selected
group you wish.  White protestant blue-eyed redheads of Irish descent? No
problem.  Purple wingajammies from the planet Thyroid?  Go for it!
