Is the purpose of FIRST to provide scholarships? No, not by a long shot. The main purpose of FIRST is to inspire and recognize science and technology. Not business. Not literature. Not art. Science and technology (which would include engineering). Now, that doesn't mean that things such as the Chairman's award and fundraising are unimportant. It's just that they aren't the
primary focus of FIRST.
And if a lack of scholarships for business, art, etc. in FIRST is a large concern for you, I suggest that you attempt to influence some colleges into giving them. I doubt FIRST will turn them down and it will be good for us all.
