I wouldn't say honour is the whole point. I think its a way to ensure young people are able to afford the opportunity, and to convince talented students to attend that particular school.
But, yeah, they're for academic achievement, not academic achievement _and_having poor parents.
Better to fight for free education than against young people getting awarded for doing well in school.
