I agree with the others, it's about time! My scholarships for college were so wonderful to have, but since I am white I didn't get nearly as much as my SIL, who is 1/8 Native American, and my grades in high school were much higher.

That bit threw me a little, if you apply for it, then isn't that a bursary, technically not a scholarship? Perhaps I am just not reading it right

What is a bursary? Maybe things are done different here.....most, if not all, scholarships have to be applied for. You usually have to send in an essay also (well not always, but sometimes).
