Why would that matter? Surely, only those with expenses for attending hacker school can ask for a grant that repays expenses for attending hacker school.

Those with expenses for attending a chocolate factory visit can not ask for this grant. That should not be considered when judging who should be granted money regarding expenses for attending hacker school. The chocolate factory has nothing to do with this grant.

They aren't repaying. They're paying. The grant is given so that they don't have to pay.

Do you understand exactly what the grant is doing? It's giving money to women who already qualify for the school but can't afford the expenses of living in NYC during their time there. This has nothing to do with chocolate factories or whatever you're talking about.

Out of the people who is attending the school, they give a grant to those who qualify the requirement of being a woman. That it. No other qualification or requirements made.

Its true they don't care about chocolate factories. They also don't care about the qualification for attending the school. The way Google will judge the people attending the school is on the single aspect of gender. This is what I said in my first post. Rather than judging people based on their actions, they would rather judge a woman on the basis that she is a woman.
