I think this is pretty common. People are kind of intimidated by the large amount of money that it takes to run a school/endow a scholarship and don't think their considerably smaller donations are good enough. Also, if you didn't go to a private high school, the concept of giving money to your school is a foreign concept.
Any little bit helps.
