What’s the problem here? Really this here is Justin’s accomplishment, not his father’s. He’s earned his scholarship…
UCLA defended its decision to give a full scholarship to P. Diddy’s son Justin Combs. Some argued that the teen should not receive the fund since he has had enough money from his rap mogul father to pay the tuition, but the university through its spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez insisted Justin deserved the scholarship due to his talent in sports.
“There is a big separation between financial aid based on need and how that’s funded and how athletic scholarships are funded and awarded to students,” the rep explained. “Unlike need-based scholarships, athletic scholarships are awarded to students strictly on the basis of their athletic and academic ability – not their financial need.”
The representative elaborated further, “Athletic scholarships, such as those awarded to football or basketball players, do not rely on state funds. Instead, these scholarships are entirely funded through UCLA Athletics ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contracts and private donations from supporters.” READ MORE.
