The document describes how OCR has historically analyzed and will continue to analyze cases involving these types of scholarships, clubs, and programs, and will assist educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance with meeting their civil rights obligations under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). It represents OCR Policy guidance and is available through OCR’s policy portal<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTAxMTQuMzMzMzc1NzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dzIuZWQuZ292L2Fib3V0L29mZmljZXMvbGlzdC9vY3IvZnJvbnRwYWdlL2ZhcS9yci9wb2xpY3lndWlkYW5jZS9pbmRleC5odG1sP3V0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9uYW1lPSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5JnV0bV90ZXJtPSJ9.F0WOr0rh5g_AAM-caI8bl76EpNkpnw7qSFVkNk4u1wE/s/463572273/br/93137607000-l>.
