It was simple English, Joe. No scholarships means only rich kids, and not enough smart rich kids are on offer, so?

As with welfare the more the goobermint takes on the role of brainwasher in chief so genuine noble benevolence wanes. Students who were once aware of the generosity of private institutions and individuals and motivated by that now see it as an obligation for others to provide for their education thus valuing it less.

A lose/lose every which way you look.

First you speak of a "brainwasher in chief", and then, in nearly the same breath, you speak of "the generosity of private institutions". Your self-awareness is strikingly limited by the ignorance of your own opinions.

When you remove force from the deal suzi, that is the difference.

Giving scholarships to gifted but poor young people has nothing to do with what being tought on the courses, it simply rankles your pathological misanthropy.
Your way the nation degenerates as one generation after another stupid but rich young people hog the best schools and colleges and end up trying to make important decisions that thy are not equipped for when they go on to hog the top government and corporate positions

Don't talk about education, trying to make sense of your post just wasted three minutes of my time.

You obviously didn’t reach the standard required for a scholarship, it all makes sense now, sour grapes

Sorry, I didn't understand the point, cudda just said this first.
So, yes, without these many millions, universities will naturally cut back, and indeed, scholarships, for those not-rich kids, may not be so available.
So, this BTW is a great example of why you fellers should not bash the rich so much. They will be missed......by those who look to them as benefactors.
Y'all best be careful what you wish for.

I guess filling the universities with stupid entitled rich kids must be a great idea for American civilisation.
I just read this again, I still dont get what you mean, but I hope my answer makes sense to you. No money, no scholarships.......for the un-rich kids.
So your post here is saying that without scholarships, only entitled rich kids will be in the colleges? Well, yes. So what is the point of your post? You simply state the obvious.
