My college scholarship never looked at my high school transcripts. Instead I was put through a series of interviews and testing to measure my abilities and gauge my likelihood of completing my degree.
At the end, degree programs were recommend to me. Courses, books and some associated living expenses (childcare) were paid for. I had regular interviews all through college to measure my progress - and help at the ready when struggled.
All this to say, knowledgeable, genuinely helpful and immersive engagement with the recipients of aid - this goes a long way to safeguarding funds + intentions + outcomes.
