Comparing a (presumably) merit scholarship with a 'cute' boy/girl favour seems misleading here.

IMHO better 'gift' from the community might be an interest free loan.

That is worth some $$ (600-1200/yr) and solves a real need.

Paying it forward is still optional.

I was merely pointing out that it's absurb to think that donations should only be given in a Quid Pro Quo fashion.

Is skin color a merit? I'm sure that's how I got my scholarships.

Are being born with rich white* parents a merit?

* Neither rich, nor white.
