I do not understand why it is our place to make a judgement about a coach or student and their financial arrangement. If a coach offers a discount or scholarship to someone, that is their right to do so and it should not be a concern to us, just as we should not care what teachers charge other students for lessons or what schools offer other students in aid. If the student has earned a coaching scholarship or discount with their talent and/or based on their financial need, and they wish to work with that coach, and they understand as a scholarship student they may be featured in some publicity, then so be it. It is the right of any coach, teacher or school to set their own pricing which may or may not include discounts and scholarships. And the student has the choice to accept or not. Neither the coach or the student receiving the benefit are doing anything wrong. If it is of great concern to you then look for a coach that will,offer your student a discount or scholarship. Just like financial aid at colleges, not every student will be offered aid in the same amount and many will receive no aid at all from a coach. You may choose not to,work with that coach if the cost is too great just as you may choose not to attend a certain school if the cost is too great. But do not begrudge the coaches and students who are working together in a mutually agreed upon way. That was their choice. It may not be the choice you would make for yourself, but it is a choice they have made and are happy with. Let them be.
