Should P. Diddy's son return $54,000 college scholarship?

Justin Combs worked hard in high school to improve his football game and earn a 3.75 GPA . He recently received a $54,000 merit-based scholarship to UCLA, where he'll play football.

In April, Forbes named Justin Combs' dad,  Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, the wealthiest artist in hip-hop. Some say the family should return Justin's scholarship, arguing that Combs should pay for his son's education and taxpayer money should go to students with greater financial need. Other say Justin Combs earned the scholarship through his grades and athletic ability, and deserves to keep it.

I think he should be able to keep it. He earned it, and his dad also paid into those taxes that helped fund that scholarship, and will continue to pay in for years to come.

Very selfish if he does.

Give it back, give a kid who can't afford school get a chance

Perhaps, Diddy should donate to the school's other scholarship fund(s) so another person can go to college.  Maybe he has already done that.

He earned it. Just because his dad has money doesn't mean he does.

if he keeps it, that should be the next place OWS should boycott.

He earned it he should keep it no matter who his dad is.

I think he should be able to keep it. College scholarships are there for every individual person, regardless of who your parent is or how much money they make. If your child works hard and earns a scholarship, then it's theirs in my book. I'm hoping all three of my children can qualify for scholarships.

he earned it like anyone else would have.. just because his father is loaded doesnt mean he has to return it...  he deserves it as much as the next person

Why should he be held to different financial standards because his dad has money.
