Hi,

I am a student at Howard who would like to address your question/statement. There is a good number of whites at Howard, both students and employees. Many are offered diversity scholarships to offset the cost of attendance. Some come because of the scholarship offers while others come for the programs offered. Howard offers many programs of study that other schools in DC do not. White students are welcomed here just as any other race is. There is a large percentage of internationals who are black in color but not African American. I have no proof of the truth in this but I believe that being white would work favorably upon an applicant to Howard since there are still so few. Every University wants more diversity and whites at HU add to the diversity...
