With a growing number of college scholarships available for minority groups, Texas State Student Colby Bohannan felt there was one segment of the population that's being overlooked.
"There's one group that can't find scholarship opportunities based just upon race or gender and that's white males."
Bohannan has created the Former Majority Association for Equality (http://www.fmafe.org/), a non profit that will provide five, five hundred dollar scholarships exclusively to white males.
"You have to start somewhere and I'm not a millionaire."
Bohannan says his group is taking donations to provide even more money for white male students. It's an effort that critics are calling misguided.
"I think it's a bad idea. Scholarships and financial resources should be given based on need,' says Edward Bloom, President of the Project on Fair Representation (http://www.projectonfairrepresentation.org/).
And Hector Chavana with the La Raza Justice Movement thinks the idea borders on white supremacy.
"It's basically white nationalism," says Chavana.
Bohannan meanwhile says his organization has been receiving a lot of support from college goers and the community.
