I look completely white and my last name is far from latino.



This has been covered on this forum a bunch of times. Your skin color and your surname do not determine your Hispanic status.

For what it’s worth, Cubans who are not of African heritage tend to be lighter, as a group, than many other Hispanic sub-groups.

If your dad is a Cuban-American, than yes, as long as the requirements for a given scholarship don’t require you to be more than half-Hispanic, you qualify.
