    By "you" do you mean WJA?  I suppose they are, but I'm sure you can
    find that out by looking at their website.  I do not speak for WJA. 

    And yes, not for profits are allowed to favor certain groups. 

    If you remember looking for scholarships for college you may have
    found yourself wishing that you were in fact descended from a
    veteran of the war of 1812, who lost an eye and three fingers, who
    then married a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. 
    Or that your father worked for IBM for 25 years and also has
    heritage from Norway. 

    Scholarship requirements can be picky and particular. It's their
    money, they can do that. 

    Look hard enough and you'll find one that favors you. Scholarships
    for jewelry are few and far between, but with great dedication,
    research and entering a lot of contests (and winning) you could fund
    your jewelry education.
