P. Diddy’s Son Justin Was Awarded A Full Athletic Scholarship To UCLA
Do you think he should get the scholarship considering the fact that his dad is worth $500+ million? Or since he earned it he should be worthy of it?
“He had the grades, he has obviously put in the effort, regardless of who his dad is. He could get in. He definitely earned it, so I’m looking forward to seeing him next year,” said student Ben Barokh.
UCLA declined an on-camera interview, but stressed their robust financial aid program, noting that UCLA enrolls more low-income grant recipients than the entire Ivy League combined. They went on to say that their 285 athletic scholarships are separate, like other Division 1 schools.
“Unlike need-based scholarships, athletic scholarships are awarded to students strictly on the basis of their athletic and academic ability, and not on a student’s financial need. Athletic scholarships, such as those awarded to football or basketball players, do not rely on state funds,” said UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez in a statement.

He should tell UCLA that he’s grateful for the scholarship but he’s more than capable of paying his way in full and he would prefer it if they offered the scholarship to somebody else who doesn’t have the luxuries he has.

He should not have gotten a scholarship and neither should any other kid over a certain income. Why should someone who can obviously pay for school get a free ride? Should be reserved for those that need it.

The rich get richer, the way she goes. I’d bet its not 100% athletics and academics, but its not changing my life. Do your thing kid and if you earned it without the name of your father, good on you man.

Cloth-of-gold sheets? Really? If someone more needy needs it, they should work just as hard to earn it. We need to stop giving money to people just because they exist. If someone wants something, they need to earn it. If someone earns something, they are completely entitled to it.

sarahs61 11 months agoIf he earned it, great! It should be awarded to him based on merit. That doesn’t mean he should take it. His family can pay for it. Use that money, go to the same school and play ball and they can pass the scholarship on to another deserving student who also earned it but can’t pay for school. If that works that way
