The wealth of the parents should never be an issue. If the kid doesn't measure up, go flip burgers or make porn. I don't believe in handouts for such reasons, but I do think everyone should be given a chance to prove their worth and have a chance to go for free based on their grades, achievements, and/or service to their community, not if they can afford it or not. That would be the most fair way to do it. You have to earn it. If you don't have what it takes, you don't go.
