Is it the money or something else?

A little. I mean if he earned it he earned it. Fine. But how many people have a 3.7 grade average and would never get a full scholarship? On a side note I didn't even know P-Did had a kid.

Even though I am not clear who the P Diddy is and what 3.7 grade point average means, but I admire the son for him standing on his own feet ,instead of living in the shadow of his father.

I thik the problem is when someone with money to spare wins more mo ey, even if they deserve it, they take it away from someone with less financial options.

First of all, I'm not sure I'd use the word "upset", but this DOES bother me a bit. I guess it's the money and it's "something else" in a way. I think Diddy and his son should both be very proud because the son had to have worked very hard for such good grades, not to mention apparently doing it while playing football! He certainly deserves the HONOR. However, what bothers me is that it WILL take some much needed help away from other deserving students who have worked just as hard but who would have no hope whatsoever of going to college without some kind of "help". I know the conservative, "survival of the fittest" gang here will say that's tough, but I'm seriously worried about what's going to happen to many of our young people who may find themselves stuck in a "rut" their entire lives because they can't afford higher education but miss out on any grants or scholarships. What I think would be wonderful would be for P Diddy to start his own scholarship fund so other people's sons have the same opportunities as his despite not having wealthy parents! Annie

I went on a partial scholarship when I was in university. And although that school that I went to was supposedly for the under-priveledged, there were a lot of rich kids there too who got scholarships because of their own efforts. I liked it that way. That the school didn't discriminate with financial status. As long as the kids did their work, and they earned their scholarship.

I think it is awesome that he has earned it and is not using his 'status' or his fathers fame to slide through life, he is not his father, he is his own person. Now, yes daddy could pay for everything, but if his son earned it fair and square, it's his, and the other kids that were going for it at the same, if they didn't win it, they didn't win it. Life kinda sucks that way there are winners and there are losers. and in contest like this it doesn't/shouldn't matter who your daddy is. Or that's the way I see it.

I heard a lot of this stuff on ESPN radio this morning. People are jealous of the rich. They already stated the scholarship fund is not coming from tax dollars. It's a total athletic scholarship. And if he earned it, which he did, he should keep it. He didn't get it for grades, just for football. Although of course you have to keep your GPA up to a certain level to keep it. I'm what you would term poor, but I'm sick and tired of people being all over other people just because they are fortunate to have wealth. This young man did not earn his daddy's millions, but he earned his scholarship. And he should be proud of it.

I think P Diddy's son deserves congratulations. Winning a scholarship like that is an amazing achievement. But I also think that P Diddy should do the decent thing and pay for his son's schooling so that some other young man can have the benefit of the scholarship. I hadn't heard this story.

I feel that it is the money and nothing else.

Sometimes a person and another person has not understood of meaning of the journey of fate, or simply some of them to judge the state of another person.. some as we do not know if I or You to be her...

It's about the money and jealousy. Who cares if P-Diddys kid won a scholarship. It seems he did it on his own and he should get it. I do not see it as taking it away from someone else. Just because his father is rich should have no bearing on that at all.
