I am just saying all we have is the OP's perception of the relationship. The reality could be very very different. This could be a totally normal situation seen through the eye of some snobby uptight parents. It very well could be a situation like mine, but the OP doesn't think it is. We just don't know. I am sure that my parents could have written a very similar letter and cherry picked some facts to make it appear my DH was like the son in the OP - when the reality was he isn't like him at all.
Yet you made that very comparison.
Yes I did. Because we don't know the whole story. This situation could very well be just like mine but because the grandparents don't like the SIL they chose to portray it differently.
Oh good grief. Sure, we can say that about pretty much ANY thread on here. We often only get one side of the story.
However, YOU would have to be doing a LOT more assuming of facts not presented than the rest of us who are going by what is in the letter for you to be right.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
Either grandparents are going to pay for college or not.
Put conditions on it.
Grades kept at a B at least, one class drop per whatever, certain amount must be paid back with in so long after completion.
