> Are there any scholarships for low income white guys?
You seem to be really focused on this specific "low income white guys" thing, but you are missing forest for the trees.
I cannot speak for every single state in the US, so I will just give one example. Georgia (since I attended college there as a "low class white guy", so i am very familiar with this specific one) has HOPE+Zell Miller scholarships. The former covers 90% of in-state tuition at any public GA college, the latter covers 100%. For the first one, you need a 3.0 GPA, for the other you need 3.3. Both are available to every GA state resident, including "low class white guys". This allowed me to graduate pretty much debt-free from a great school.
I presume a lot of states have some similar scholarships/programs. And that's on top of federal financial aid+other forms of financial assistance.

I realize it comes across that way, but I'm keenly aware that most assistance for college, in the States at least, is highly based on unchangeable traits of each student. It's worth considering that when you are a student who will be unfavored due to those traits. What forest do you think I'm missing? Do you think my sex and ethnicity won't be taken into consideration? It is for other students, why would I be any different? Is it because it's somewhat uncomfortable to talk about a crack in the system where people are assumed to have favor and resources to gain an edge, but in reality don't? If the bias was as strong as is perceived, we wouldn't be having this conversation because I'd have graduated in my 20s.
Everyone deserves an education. We should be more like Europe in actually investing in our people.
