Should Wealthy Children Receive Scholarships?

A scholarship is an honor rewarded to student(s) who have exceeded the expectations of certain academic or athletic requirement that is acceptable as a form of payment towards higher education. At least that is how I see it!

I remember being told that good grades and athletic ability are ways to gain college entrance, most every parents dream! It's challenging to be rewarded a scholarship; it takes many years of preparation and responsibility. I read a magazine a few days ago and came across a controversial issue pertaining to Sean "P Diddy" Comb's son Justin, 18. Apparently, Justin was awarded a $54,000 football scholarship to UCLA (Congratulations!). If you do not know who Sean "P Diddy" Combs, he is a hip-hop artist who owns his own label- Bad Boy Records. Money is not hard to come by for him and his family! That being said, his dad is the one with the money; not him. There are parents out there who do have a strong financial situation  that aren't in the entertainment industry. I don't hear people complain about their children receiving scholastic funding.  A scholarship is awarded to the most qualified. Anyone can get one or apply for one, if they meet the eligibility requirements. Why would you accept an award and then give it back or donate it to charity? I mean you can, but you're getting a scholarship obviously it's for school. The money had to be raised and donated some kind of way. Just as one can do for any charity, it doesn't take a certain type of person to give to a good cause. Scholarships are different from financial aid and grants! Students whose parent(s) make over a certain amount of money do not qualify.

In conclusion:
How and what people decide to with their money is their business. The thought of taking away an awarded honor from someone is ridiculous, in this situation- a kid. Really America?! Taking lollipops from the babies.
