His mother is half Anglo, half Spanish. The Spanish is not from Mexico or Puerto Rico or South American Countries, but from Spain. Because the census and most questionaires do not disinquish between the types of Hispanic ethnicity, the mother considers herself Spanish. That said, the boy is 1/4 Spanish. If he meets all academic criteria for the scholarship, can he ethically apply as a Hispanic? I know Native Americans can get $ from their tribes if one has 1/4 of Native American blood. I understand a Jewish person is all-Jewish if his mother was Jewish but not all Jewish if she was a Gentile. With these different ways of determining ones ethnicity, should the boy apply as a Hispanic?
Er is geen kwaad bij de toepassing voor elke beurs mogelijk. Ik weet zeker gezien uw omstandigheden de jongen zou worden aanvaard voor die beurs, tenzij er een groot aantal latino mensen die voor hetzelfde ding.
It depends on the scholarship. Your friend should read the application and see what it says because all scholarships are different. One might say both parents need to be born in a certain country, and some might say only one parent and some might say only the grandparents and so on.

Ja, is er geen manier zij het kunnen hoe dan ook verifi?ren. En als zij het betwisten, zult u een mooi proces op uw handen hebben.
