In most stories set at an expensive and prestigious school largely populated by rich kids, there will be one -- and usually only one -- student who's middle-class or even poor. Usually this student is there on a scholarship (as the trope name indicates), but sometimes there's another reason for their being there -- maybe one of their parents teaches there so their tuition is discounted or free, or maybe their parents just scraped together the money to give their child the best education they could. Examples of Scholarship Student include:

This character will nearly always be the protagonist, presumably because they're more similar to most of the audience (in terms of socioeconomic status if nothing else) and because there is a lot of Fish Out of Water comedy and/or drama to be milked from their situation. In comedic series, the character is also frequently the Only Sane Man amongst all those eccentric rich kids. In British boarding school literature, this character may be part of a Five-Token Band. For those who can barely afford food, see Starving Student. Also see Penny Among Diamonds. Examples of Scholarship Student include:
