He let Blake in, despite her practically being Adam's right hand girl. He let Jaune in, despite him faking transcripts and being completely unprepared for any sort of Hunstman life at all. I don't see why he wouldn't let Tenne in.

RWBY took a mission in their first year; they're not exactly going to take the money for said mission away from the girls and give it to the school. I don't see how it's unreasonable to think that any missions the students do take they get money for, even if a percentage of their money is given to the school for supplies that may have been used on the mission. She'd have some sort of income after the first semester.
