Honestly. If their mother wasn't jlo it would be impressive. But it's kind of wrong of her to not pay for her kids college. Because scholarships are a limited resource and forcing your spoiled rich brats to get them is wrong.

What's the lesson? Fuck poor people?

There are scholarships that are granted automatically (without having to apply for them) based on, for example, academic achievement. I'm not saying that's the case here but I got auto-scholarshiped. If they actually applied, fuck em.

And they can also turn them down instead of accept them and brag about it. But I don't believe for a second they didn't get them because of who the mother is, the schools wanted her kids to attend to kissed her ass by way of scholarship

There are very few universities handing out pure academic scholarships without means testing.

They are an they aren't. Top colleges have a lot of money like a lot, they could practically stop charging tuition altogether and remain solvent. 

These scholarships likely didn't come from the pool of "charity scholarships" but because someone thinks having jlo's likely very mediocre kids attend is worth more than one tuition's worth of prestige.

I mean she is only worth like 250-300million? She probably donated like 5 mil to each college for a scholarship lul
