What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Various states, but based in Nevada

If a nonprofit organization decides to provide scholarships to *certain types of students* that will be attending *certain types of universities* (consistent with the purpose of the nonprofit organization as described in the Articles of Incorporation), yet the organization does not provide scholarships to students and colleges that are not consistent with the Articles, can this in any way be considered discrimination?

As an example, say that an organization wanted to provide scholarships specifically for students who wanted to study to become pastors (and only at 2 or 3 different institutions so that the organization could more easily develop ongoing relationships with those colleges)?

Could this be discrimination against other faith-based colleges?
Could this be discrimination against non-pastoral students?
Could this be discrimination against pastoral students wanting to attend a different college - one that the nonprofit organization does not work closely with?
