This is awesome, which we had the same opportunities as you folks in the UK, here in the states only San Diego among few cities actually offer you extra cash to attend unis based on government funds for minorities, mostly an attempt to narrow gaps in talent shortage for future workforce leaders as less and less are interested in the field of science and engineering.

To be fair opportunities like this are nowadays quite rare. They were more common before the financial crash.

They're not new, I've looked at those scholarships before but decided against it as they were mostly for working in finance/banking industry or law field. Not exactly halal for the former, latter is useless if you decide to move out to Somalia sometime in the future.
