Recently Diddy and Misa Hylton‘s 18-year-old son, Justin Combs, was awarded a full athletic scholarship to play football at UCLA this fall. A while later on CNN, a reporter asked if the Bad Boy prince should return his $54,000 college scholarship. See what happens below…
UCLA spokesman Ricardo Vazquez, jumped in to defended the university for granting Justin with the scholarship. He explained,
“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…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…”
Justin is a pretty smart guy though. He graduated from high school with a 3.75 GPA and was a great football player. Yeah, his Diddy has money, but Justin has skills!
