it then goes on the report that a scholarship does not fully cover costs of attending college by a few thousand $:



unfortunately, that's not how academia works. for instance, when i attended college, i provided significant research on a history topic that the prof/acdemian then took into his own research and made new conclusions that brought both him and the university accolades.

i was not on a scholarship, i was paying my tuition in full as well as room and board, books, food, beer, etc.
