I keep searching continuously for minority scholarships that are available but they have unattainable requirements and I can’t seem to find a page concerned just about minority scholarships.

Hello, Angelina !
The reason that you may be having a time finding "minority scholarships" is because scholarships are not categorized that way. You would have to refine your search and with little information provided by you, I can't be specific but can give you a general idea.
The word "minority" can mean anything, so instead of looking at it as that, look at it as race, nationality, or gender. There are scholarships in these categories and yes, to be awarded the money, there are qualifications and requirements for mostly all scholarships and grants. If a student is enrolled in a Historically Black College and University, the college itself also has ethnicity based scholarships for their students. The way that you find scholarships and grants is through an online search, asking your guidance counselor or teachers, searching for the ones that are connected to what you will major in, and being open to applying for as many scholarships and grants that you possibly can to increase your chances of being chosen. Students do not "earn" scholarships or grants, they are chosen after an application screening process.
You can focus on your specific culture and explore scholarships and grants for students of that culture. It's all in how you word your search and the ethnic scholarships are not going to be on a whole website for your specific ethnicity, the scholarships are usually intermixed with various requirements, so try again.
For example, Latina women can apply for the Actuarial Foundation Scholarship, Lubbock Hispanic Association of Women Scholarship, La Unidad Latina Foundation National Scholarship, Latina Empowerment Scholarship, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the website Scholarships for Women has scholarships for Latina and other students. You will have to make sure you apply for a very large selection of scholarships and grants to increase the possibility of being chosen for some.
So my advice is to apply for scholarships and grants for your ethnicity but definitely apply for every scholarship in other categories that you qualify for. If you are having a time finding these online, definitely ask your guidance counselor to assist you with it
I hope this helps for a start and I wish you all the best !
