The U.S. is deep in debt - and they are handing out scholarships to Ecuadorians to gain exposure - to U.S. culture.
I believe President Correa may have had a scholarship to the University of Illinois (I am not sure what type of scholarship or assistance he had) ----- and he makes no issue about his dislike of the U.S.
The U.S. military spent millions a year in the development of the Manta airbase to basically be kicked out ----- after ten years.
Why not spend these tax dollars of the U.S. for children in the U.S. to help them get their education.
And I would make a bet that the recipients will not be some poor Ecuadorian college student - Maybe - but I doubt it.
