<p>kritarch, i dont get why you're so pumped about this issue. True that it would be nice for all of us to start from a beginning with equal everything. But life (and the real world) is NOT like that.</p>
<p>As people have already mentioned there are those kinda scholarships or special programs in nearly every colleges, even in ivies and top tier schools (Cornell, Columbia, UPenn, Rice, Emory, and Georgia Tech to name a few).</p>
<p>P.S : i am not familar with Naval Academy, therefore I can not talk about that. But I can tell you that if you really like Naval Academy, go for it. No need for dissing those ordinary civilian colleges.</p>
