Bursaries fail to attract poor students to top universities

A recent study has shown that bright students, capable of becoming students at some of the country's top universities, are reluctant to apply, regardless of the bursaries worth thousands of pounds that they are offered. This is thought to be because the bursary system can be perceived to be too confusing, which has put many student off applying.
Possible solutions which these universities are considering to overcome this issue are to visit schools in deprived areas, and to maybe even waive the tuition fees for the poorest students.

Do you think that this strategy will help entice more students to the best universites in the country?
