I think in most cases supporting kids with money and professional experience is family merit. The family spent money and effort to help its next generation. Maybe they are not rich, just education focused and ready to sacrifice a lot to achieve it. On the other hand having too much family wealth correlates negatively with academic accomplishments.

The complexity of art and math doesn't change depending on how you learn or how rich is your father. Even with support a kid has to gain the same useful skills. What matters is ability, not how the kid got there. They are just kids, everything that shaped society into what it is happened before they were grown enough to have any say in it.
