It seems like you could find a scholarship to fit anyone if you look hard enough, I’ve heard of ones in the past for everything from tall students to nudists. 
Here’s one we haven’t heard of before that is great if you fit the bill. The Asian Women in Business organization looking for, well, Asian women in business for their scholarship worth $2,500! If you think you might be what they’re looking for, check that you fulfill these requirements:
