Giving scholarships to people only for academic superiority kinda makes those who “got by” seem less important

Post Body

I remember when I was applying for colleges, if you got a 36 on the ACT you could get up to $9,000 a year in scholarship money at the university I’m currently at. Where as if you scored lower, you risked not getting any at all. I think back at it now, and I’m like “doesn’t this diminish the people who didn’t get too grades?” My best friend had to recently drop out, because his parents couldn’t afford it, and he never got scholarship money because he wasn’t “good enough academically.” Honestly it’s very stupid.
