I have no idea about the Cyber Patriot thing, but there is no way she got a scholarship to go to MIT.
“What is MIT’s financial aid and scholarship policy?
We recruit and enroll the most talented and promising students without regard to their financial circumstances.
We award our undergraduate aid on the basis of financial need, and we do not provide undergraduate scholarships based on any non-financial criteria (such as academic or athletic achievements).
We guarantee that each student’s demonstrated financial need is fully met for all four years.”
