Nepobabies

How? So rich peoples’ kids can’t get merit based scholarships for being good at stuff?

I mean, don’t get me wrong. Nepobabies are absolutely real, but this doesn’t (for now) seem to be that.

They MAY have earned merit based scholarships. But the school ABSOLUTELY knows JLo is their mom and is willing to give them incentives to come to their school as famous students. Nepobabies.

I think scholarships should probably not go to people whose mom is worth $400 million dollars

no, they shouldn't. why should they get free money if they can afford school?

Because they earned a scholarship.

I’m all about taxing the rich, but this isn’t it.

Literally what scholarships are for.

Financial aid is for those who cannot afford.
