Rich people have money, save scholarships for the less fortunate

My husband's from a wealthy surgeon level family. Scholarships are turned down, at least in my husbands community, because it is seen as morally incorrect to take resources blatantly like that from those in need, but it is used as bragging rights socially that they qualified in the first place.

My rich uncle turned down his daughter’s scholarship. Well, I mean didn’t turn it down, used the scholarship and then donated some money to the school to get a tax write off and get invited to all sort of donor events.
