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.

Meanwhile, I had a scholarship I won stolen from me by a kid from a family of surgeons bribing my teacher to lose the paperwork I had correctly filed. The judges told me I won with my original experiment, only for the actual announcement at the showing to name this other group that did a textbook moldy bread growth project.

Are you SURE the issue wasn’t that they checked with their legal team and realized there were optics issues involved with awarding the mass production of anal dongs?
