There are many scholarships for "people of color" in library science. Many of these scholarships use the census definitions of what that means, i.e. American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander.
What I am trying to find out is if other minorities are eligible as well in some other minority scholarship. I am assuming that East Indians are considered Asian, but what about people whose roots are based in Iraq, Egypt, or Turkey?
