Interestingly, when Trinity College @ the University of Cambridge decided to make all tuition for its students free, the remaining colleges protested that it was "unfair" that Trinity would be able to attract the best students simply because it had more money than the others (it owns the second largest port in England, among other assets).

In 1988 they setup the Newton Trust [http://www.newtontrust.cam.ac.uk/studsupport http://www.newtontrust.cam.ac.uk/studsupport] which awards "bursaries to nearly 3000 undergraduate students every year" which seems like a pretty good use of their money.
