You give me a minority that wants a higher education in a STEM field and as long as they were able to maintain a C average in school (even this can be waived) and I can show them how to obtain a scholarship.

Others will show them how to apply for subsidies.

The point is its not about a "minority that wants a higher education in a STEM field" its about the minorities that never knew they had an inclination or interest in those fields.

It's about exposure to those subjects at a young age by someone that's competent to foster the interest. A kid from a very poor area isn't going to have the same access to books or educators to promote that interest. Just waiting until they get 18 and just hope throwing money down the road will solve the problem. Its too late by then.
