The Rules

It's not a semantics question, it's about why the school gave her the scholarship in the first place.

They literally wanted to use her as a PR mascot and took the scholarship away when something negative came out about her.

That's why it's problematic. She should be entitled to that scholarship regardless, yet here we are.
