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".
Our team personally doesn't offer scholarships, only because we are associated with a public school. If a student would like to participate in any educational field trips (including competitions), and their socio-economic standing is a hindrance, the student can talk to the administration and make sure their participation is payed for by the school. I wouldn't call that a scholarship though, just financial assistance or aid.
