I've never heard of Catholic (grade) schools giving out scholarships, but in no way should that be taken to mean they don't; the schools I went to might have, but being a child I might not have known, and I've had little involvement with Catholic schools since the 8th grade (not having any kids, younger siblings nor even nieces or nephews).

The school I went to for grades one through three, before black people commited the most horrendous crime against my father (move into the neighborhood) may very well have done so. This is a very good community, and as an adult, I went back there even though I didn't live very close. I wouldn't be surprised if they did/do give out scholarships.

I would think if anything it would be more likely to be the other way around and a higher percentage of poor people would consider themself to be religious than rich people.
You've probably heard the saying by Christ that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. But the people in the upper-middle class neighborhood where my father and his property vaules felt safe still went to church since that's all they had to do to consider themselves relgious. :-)
