"Yep, that was the big incentive," said Kristin McKenna, a senior who once set her sights far and wide for college, eyeing the distant, shiny coast of California, until her mother stepped forward with what is often called the "UGA exchange" — get the scholarship, get a car. "I'd say it's pretty commonplace," Ms. McKenna said.
Just how common, researchers cannot say, but one thing is sure. Scholarships open to students like Ms. McKenna, who estimates her parents' income at $200,000 or more, are rising quickly. Though income is still a deciding factor in most awards, particularly federal grants, states and universities are increasingly helping students who were once too well off to qualify.
As a result, the percentage of students from families earning $100,000 or more who get state grants grew seven times faster than those earning less than $20,000 between 1992 and 2000, statistics from the federal Department of Education show. A decade ago, less than 2 percent of the highest-income families got state grants. That figure surpassed 5 percent by 2000, even before many states started giving grants based solely on academic performance, regardless of family income."
