My understanding of what Harvard is doing, is different from this. I believe they are dedicating more endowment money to kids who are smart and can handle the academics, but who are poor and cannot afford to attend, who are smart enough to get in, but maybe not smart enough to get a full academic scholarship.
Harvard itself doesn't offer merit-based scholarships. Directly from their financial aid page:

We follow two key principles:
Admission to Harvard is need-blind, meaning your financial need will not impede your chances of admission.
Aid is based entirely on need, not merit.
If you are smart enough to get in, that's it. You're in, and they will ensure you can afford it.
OP is spreading complete bullshite for reasons known only to himself.
