Don't know that I'd have applied if I were the daughter of a billionaire, but I'm glad that the Fulbright Scholarship is completely merit based as opposed to the usual needs-based philosophy.

Merit based? Surely, you jest?

This young woman has taken a year off from Harvard med to campaign w/her father. Now she's taking a Fulbright to study in London. Given their terrible health care system, can't say it'll teach her anything. But then, she's a lib -- she knows everything already.

The Fulbright Scholarship is more of an exchange program than scholarship program

For instance, she will go to the school over there, and a student from over there will come over here, in her place.

They exchange living accomodations, etc.

And of course her dad being a prominent Senator had nothing at all to do with it....
