Corazon C. Aquino Scholarship

Hello Reddit

I have once again come to the moshpit that this website is, to hopefully get some answers.

CONTEXT:

This morning, I woke up and checked my email to see that Common app had once again sent me a direct admissions offer, this time it said that given my SAT/ACT and GPA it was possible I could attend with full tution paid for. The title of the post is the given scholarship. However, the main problem is that it applies to Filipino students, and that is where my question lies: I by birth am Hispanic, however historically there was a time where the Spaniards once had colonizied the Filipinos. There is also culture inter-mixings that happen at times, via religion, and other facets.

So does common app consider Hispanics to be Filipinos, or does MSVU consider Filipinos to be Hispanics?

And since I am not "of filipino descent" but am of "Historic filipino descent" instead, should I apply anyway with the hopes that I get the scholarship.

Anyone who knows previous winners would be helpful
