There has been some grumbling that Combs should not receive the $54,000 because he has a rich dad. The entertainment mogul was last month named the wealthiest artist in hip-hop by Forbes, with a net worth of $550 million. And some say the state school should be handing out taxpayer money to those who are more in need.
But UCLA spokesman Ricardo Vazquez explains that Justin deserved the scholarship because of his sports talent, not his need, reports Ace Showbiz. And he explained, "Athletic scholarships, such as those awarded to football or basketball players, do not rely on state funds. Instead, these scholarships are entirely funded through UCLA Athletics ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contracts and private donations from supporters."
Justin graduated from New Rochelle Iona Prep in New York with a 3.75 GPA, and got scholarship offers from Illinois, Virginia and Wyoming.
What do you say?
