This complaint alleges that Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College and Northeastern State University “are unlawfully discriminating against white students and other races they disfavor” by administering a race-based scholarship. The Northeast Oklahoma Recruitment and Advancement of American Indians into Nursing scholarship is available only to American Indian students, according to the program’s webpage. Both NEO A&M and NSU are public higher education institutions, meaning they also receive federal funds for their chosen scholarship programs. “Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College complies with all applicable federal and state laws,” Fabian said. The Fix reached out to the Oklahoma Indigenous Nurses Association and Northeastern State University for comment on the scholarship.
