Those programs are cash cows for universities like Stanford, Harvard, etc., so no, there is no scholastic scholarship. The summer school programs are not very selective, that's not really their purpose.
Filled mostly with Asians whose parents (mistakenly) think that their paying $10K+ for summer school will help their kid get in.
Stanford has become incredibly hard to get into, I think last year they had the lowest acceptance rate in the country (slightly lower than Harvard), around 5%. It is basically impossible for an "unhooked" student to get in now. Even with a 2400 SAT, you still have a 66% chance of being rejected. High grades and standardized test scores don't do it anymore at Stanford.
