Because real boosts in this society are not puny scholarships. Its graduating with a good job already lined up, no debt, and and a heap of cash. This is basically how a lot of my wealthy friends I met in college ended up. Parents would even give them like 100k cash or even more as a graduation present. They’d also throw down on their down payments for new car or housing. Meanwhile their peers who are also getting a scrap of paper that graduation day are perhaps in debt by that amount.
