Berto Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 And everyone goes crazy. So apparently Justin Combs, son of Sean "Diddy" Combs, got a $54k merrit scholarship to go to UCLA based on his 3.75 gpa and his footbal abilities and now people are giving him shit for it just because of their financial status. People are going as far as saying he should give it back. I personally think it's bs. That's basically saying that just cuz Diddy is worth approximately half a BILLION dollars, Justin can be awarded for his personal accomplishments. What do you guys think?

Hey you worked hard you got good grades while playing sports, regardless of who your dad is that is a feat.

Chris Hammer Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) The fact is he played football.... football=scholarship His GPA isnt even close to top of his class I'm sure, but football is the reason he got the scholarship. Ive never seen him play football but in pictures he is smaller than his dad...So he must have alot of heart. I think he should say thanks but no thanks...he drives a car more than that...say thanks for noticing my accomplishments...pass the scholarship on on to a less wealthy individual who is just as hard working. He gets good press and another individual gets a chance at succeeding. 2 birds one stone. His gpa is mid level when it comes to scholarships. I had a 3.8 in highschool but the absense of sports made it impossible to get any kind of scholarship. Not that I wasn't active...I raced Motocross..snowboard..surf...skate..stand up jetskis and tons of other stuff but not any school sanctioned sports. This thread will probably be real soon.

One of the few articles I read said something about it not affecting another students chances at a scholarship or financial aid since it was a merit type award. But that is was of the only valid point people are bringing it up. Just seems wrong for them to try to get him to give it back since he's the one that worked for it, not his dad.

Maxim Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's merit-based. Every college has a budget and within that budget they have a set amount to give as merit-based scholarship and a set amount to give out as financial aid. If the kid earned a merit-based scholarship for his solid GPA and athletic ability then he absolutely deserves it. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder.

True about the GPA. But then again, football players tend to just like to "get by" when it comes to grades. But you're right without football his grades probably wouldn't have got him anything. And I hope the thread doesn't go wrong. Quote TEAM FLEX ISSUES Car: 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal 24" Rims HU: 7" Carputer, Planet Audio EQ, iPhone.

You got the point and didn't get it at the same time. It's merit-based. He played sports and was active within the school's community while maintaining a very respectable GPA. 3.75 in high school isn't the most impressive thing in the world but if you are active in other activities that colleges are interested in then they're more likely to throw money your way. The kid might have stellar SAT scores and be president of his class for all we know. If a college gives out merit-based scholarship it's because the kid earned it and it has nothing to do with any other student's potential financial aid offerings. Quote wtf is lolcats?
