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".

I apologize for the verbiage. That is what how we phrase it when we offer assistance. I grew up in Appalachia, 5 kids and my mother in a small trailer home. I remember well not being able to participate in activities that required $$$. Any team I'm involved with WILL offer assistance so $$ is never a barrier and I'm sure most teams do this. The question was poorly worded.
