Is the NHRP becoming irrelevant?

I noticed that University of Alabama dropped its NHRP scholarship last year, but have not made any adjustments to its generous merit semi-finalist and finalist scholarships. Auburn has drastically reduced its NHRP money. These two schools have very low numbers of Hispanic students in their population. I would assume that is why they had such a generous package at one time.

Alabama recently passed legislation even more restricting than that of Arizona for undocumented workers. One can only wonder if this cutting in funding for NHRP is connected to the political environment of the state.
