Scholarship programs slapped with lawsuits for alleged discrimination against White men
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: Nonprofit organization Do No Harm is challenging two separate scholarship programs over their use of race in candidate qualifications.
The program, which is "meant for underrepresented medical students," matches students with a "U.S. Military host" at one of two medical centers, the complaint states. The program spans four weeks, during when students can receive up to $12,000 "to cover ‘travel, housing, and daily per diem for the duration’ of their time hosted by the military," the filing reads, quoting the program's website description.

"Member A was hurt and dismayed that SOMOS would use his race — which he cannot control — to preclude him from participating in the program and learning from some of the country’s most distinguished orthopaedic surgeons in service of our nation’s military and veteran communities," the complaint states.
