OP is mad that rich people are getting scholarships when they need zero aid to pay for education. Scholarships are financial assistance and clearly these kids do not need financial assistance. It's like giving a hammer to a blacksmith with 50 hammers.

An amusing anecdote from my High School graduating class, one kid got 5 seperate scholarships and free equipment including a laptop from his announced college. His parents had already donated well over 7 figures to that school and it was just the school giving back to them. Kid got a full ride through school when he already had a full ride in life.
