<p>@newbeinca: “Many of these scholarships are financed through tuitions paid by wealthier students. To date, parents dont seem to be rebelling against these Robin Hood activities.”</p>
<p>This is exactly why I feel cheated. We are not wealthy, and really cannot afford to subsidize anyone else. Making us, middle class families, pay the inflated sticker price at Stanford to subsidize other families is unethical and immoral. HYPSCM control the high end college market … unchecked. Makes me feel resentful.</p>
<p>@PumpkinPi: “Stanford has made it very clear that ALL students are “subsidized” to some extent. The tuition and other fees we pay do NOT fully cover the costs of a Stanford education. ALL Stanford students are fortunate.” </p>
<p>Maybe; although I disagree strongly. Still doesn’t justify fleecing some students to subsidize other students. Why is college tuition and fees rising much higher than the overall rate of inflation?</p>
