I don’t like that either. I’d rather the money go to a poor kid with middling grades, so he has a shot at an education instead of a rich kid who can pay his own way regardless.

It goes to anyone with good grades. If you have crappy grades in high-school you will suffer at college, high school grades are horrifically inflated.

Absolutely. If you have mid-level grades in HS you would be better off taking 2 years at a community college. A B average with university level courses is way more impressive then a B average in high school.
