Scholarship Student	comment	In most stories set at an expensive and prestigious school largely populated by rich kids, there will be one — and usually only one — student who's middle-class or even poor. Usually this student is there on a scholarship (as the trope name indicates), but sometimes there's another reason for their being there — maybe one of their parents teaches there so their tuition is discounted or free, or maybe their parents just scraped together the money to give their child the best education they could. In some cases, the student doesn't have a "scholarship" so much as a "loan", or has some combination of loans, scholarships, and/or grants. That may be a way of starting the Student Debt Plot. This character will nearly always be the protagonist, presumably because they're more similar to most of the audience (in terms of socioeconomic status if nothing else) and because there is a lot of Fish out of Water comedy and/or drama to be milked from their situation. In comedic series, the character is also frequently the Only Sane Man amongst all those eccentric rich kids. In British boarding school literature, this character may be part of a Five-Token Band. Compare Token Rich Student, most of whom are in public school despite having options. For those who can barely afford food, see Starving Student. Also see Penny Among Diamonds.

How the other interns are paying for their education is never addressed, but one episode focused on Wendell being in danger of losing his scholarship because there wasn't enough money anymore. At the end of the episode, an anonymous donation (heavily implied to be Brennan and/or Hodgins) saved the scholarship program and Wendell returned to being a reoccurring character.

The varsity hockey team is upset because the Ducks took the spots on the freshman hockey team which would have gone to their younger siblings. They're initially a bit nicer to Adam Banks, who comes from a rich family, might have attended Eden Hall anyway, and gets called up to the Varsity team himself. The Board of Trustees decides to pull the Ducks' scholarships when the team is found to be struggling, but the Ducks are saved by Gordon Bombay Lawyer Mode, who coerces the board into restoring them.

The actual lead Rin is not a scholarship student and in fact only gets in thanks to his new guardian being the headmaster there, as much as his half-demon nature and desire to be an exorcist does. He's thus in 1-D (also known as the lowest rank for classes).

Scholarship Student / int_4522fd1	comment	Subverted and averted in the Whateley Universe. The majority of the students attending are on some form of scholarship - largely because, otherwise, there would literally be no way for them to afford it; Word of God has the yearly tuition fees at around $100,000 - and that's not counting textbooks, school supplies, and uniforms. Largely averted in that it rarely comes up in the stories themselves - the students usually have enough to enjoy themselves (with the exception of Jade and various gadgeteers and devisors, whose money woes are always directly linked to the supplies needed for various projects sucking up every penny they have). This may have something to do with the fact that Whateley isn't so much a prep school as it is an institution for teaching social responsibility for potentially dangerous people.

Scholarship Student / int_468bebb0	comment	The Assassins' Guild of Ankh-Morpork has occasional "scholarship students". While most of the students from the Guild are nobility sent for the first-class education, who rarely actually become assassins, the "scholarship students" got free education for outstanding work in the field of study - in this case, murder. Generally, they work for the Patrician. The first one we meet is Arthur from Pyramids (who received his scholarship thanks to a famous assassin father), but the concept was really established, named, and codified with Inigo Skimmer from The Fifth Elephant. The scholarship boys appear again in the Moist von Lipwig books with Cranberry from Making Money. According to this book, scholarship boys tended to get bullied, but "some of us survived", although other works, especially the Assassins' Guild Diary, suggest that if an arrogant rich kid starts bullying a scholarship boy, it's not neccessarily the scholarship boy who should worry about surviving. The diary also claims that scholarship boys can be distinguished by the heavy wool Scholar's Gown they must wear at all times, including swimming lessons. Mr. Teatime from Hogfather was something similar. All guilds in Ankh-Morpork will occasionally take in orphans, who receive free training from the guild. Jeremy Clockson and Lobsang Ludd from Thief of Time are examples from different guilds, in this case the clockmakers and the thieves, respectively. Lord Downey on Teatime: "We took pity on him because he lost both parents at an early age. I think, on reflection, that we should have wondered a bit more about that."

In the original trilogy, Sonea comes from the slums and is taken in by the Magician's Guild, while Tessia in The Magician's Apprentice is a rural healer's daughter and apprentices under her manorial lord. In the latter case, it's mentioned that naturals are seen as something of a pain in the ass, since existing magicians are required to train them, but they don't get the connections and favors they'd get for training a nobleman's son.

Miyuki got in via his intelligence (well, his bizarrely extreme study habits), though whether Kei got in on her own merits or because of her brother is unknown. Two others also appear in the series, though they either are only revealed to be such in their character profile (Kazamatsuri) or aren't introduced until the end of the series (Takano). There's also something of a stigma against attending school this way rather than coming up through the elevator system, though only Takano is seen suffering from it as the other three had already been attending for at least a year by the start of the series and thus had time to earn their place in the social hierarchy.

Although the Bartletts can trace their ancestry back to one of the men who signed the declaration of Independence for New Hampshire so there was a lot less Fish out of Water to this one.

Scholarship Student / int_a7001b36	comment	Rudeus at Ranoa Magic University in Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. With his scholarship he is given many privileges, like exemption from most classes (he can still take courses that he wants to), a dorm room all to himself, among other things. Rudy speculated that he is scouted by the school so that they can use his fame as an adventurer to bolster the school's own reputation. He proceeds to meet other students at school who are also treated as special scholars, but their own circumstances vary, from being a research subject (Miko Zanoba), political exile (Cliff, grandson of the Pope of the Milis religion) and delinquent Beast Folk princesses Lynia and Pursena, all of whom gradually become part of his True Companions.

Scholarship Student / int_aa819c97	comment	CLANNAD: While the school Tomoya visits isn't that remarkable, Sunohara, who is from a rural area of Japan, managed to get there due to his sports scholarship. It was wasted during his first year, as Sunohara ended up defending himself against his senpais from the soccer club, resulting in the club being suspended from tournaments for that one year, and since then he left the club. Considering soccer was his only reason to even attend that school and he's Book Dumb, he and Tomoya spend their remaining school years doing absolutely nothing productive.
