The McNair program, established to aid first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students, faces legal challenges as conservative groups argue its race-based eligibility criteria are unconstitutional.
"Denying a student the chance to compete for a scholarship based on their skin color is not only discriminatory but also demeaning and unconstitutional," said YAF president Scott Walker.
Lawyers for Young America's Foundation argue the eligibility for the McNair program should be open to all students, reflecting the recent Supreme Court stance on race-based policies.
The debate around the McNair program is part of a larger national conversation on affirmative action, race-based scholarships, and their implications for higher education policy.
