Are that many students denied participation due to socio-economic class?

Perhaps people saw the world "scholarship" and assumed it only refereed to having some sort of named dollar amount that students can "win".
It did confuse me too, but I said yes anyway as my team and school help out kids who cannot afford field trips to ensure socio-economic class is not a hindrance on whether they can do school activities or not.

We do not have an entry fee either, but we do have a fundraising requirement that can be either be filled by either writing a grant, a certain amount of fundraising hours, or fundraising money for the team. I'll try and upload a document later today that has my teams policies.
