In early January, new Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith, who is White, made a pretty stunning announcement: He would be awarding a full-scholarship to an underrepresented person of color for each Jazz victory this season. On Thursday March 11th, the Jazz announced the details of the Utah Jazz Scholars Program. The first 30 scholarships — which will cover tuition, books, fees, and room and board — will be granted to students enrolling as freshmen for the 2021-22 academic year. All remaining scholarships that result from additional wins this season will be awarded beginning with the 2022-2023 school year. Students can apply for the scholarship by visiting utahjazzfoundation.org. Applications must be submitted by April 2. So who is eligible? Recipients will have to meet the following criteria: -- Graduate of a Utah high school -- **Person of color** -- Demonstrated financial need -- Has been admitted to one of these Utah universities: Brigham Young University, Southern Utah University, University of Utah, Utah Valley University, Utah State University, and Weber State University -- Incoming freshman enrolling as a full-time student Yes, it's Ryan Smith's money, and he can spend it as he likes, but it's still racist to disqualify Whites simply because they are White. And yet the media is not calling him out for it, but are kissing his ass.
