C Many students have the grades, but not the money, to attend the best colleges.

This statement is the most appropriate to include in your essay because it directly addresses the financial barrier that low-income high school students face, even when they have the academic qualifications to attend top colleges. This can help strengthen the argument for why more scholarships should be made available to support these students' educational aspirations.
