No. No. No.
This is easy. The money you pick up now in the scholarship is piddly compared to having your name permanently tied to a group that seems to be hanging onto the racial past.

There is that. Say you become a public figure...that could torpedo any career you have. Even other careers might include background checks that could surface this type of thing. As with anything else, significant visible and ethically questionable decisions often have unforeseen collateral damage.

Take the money. Graduate. Then denounce the people you got the money from and join up with an organization who opposes them.

Moral dilemma: Do you call 911 like this nice lady did, or
b) Accrue tons of illegal profits on the retail market, or
c) go on a wonderful 7-month-long adventure of the mind?

How much money is the scholarship? If it's only enough for a class or so, use it on a Civil War class to get a gen ed out of the way and be as critical of the South in every way on each paper. Take the money but use it against their cause.

I believe this was on a tv show once. Guys found some coke on the beach and took it, then got paranoid it was a plant by the cops so they had to sneak it back.
That's probably exactly what would happen to me.
