Not really. Scholarships provide an advantage, but aren't quotas, which is my point. The scholarship doesn't prevent a white man from beating a less qualified black woman for entrance. They are both forms of affirmative action that aren't quotas.

There are also scholarships exclusively available for rural students. There are even scholarships exclusively for white males (See Milo's privilege grants).

These are incentives to encourage applying rather than things that provide uneven competition for entrance.
