Why would she accept the scholarship when her parent (s) are able to buy the school?

Being a Fullbright Scholar opens many doors, regardless of the money.

Assuming there was nothing political about her selection, I don't have a problem with her taking the scholarship. She ought not have to decline because her parents are wealthy. I don't think the scholarship is need-based.

She shouldn't disqualify herself because her parents her wealthy, she should disqualify herself because her Father is a US SENATOR.

Thanks for the reminder. But care to tell us what kind of doors the scholarship will open for the daughter of a mega-rich senator that weren't already open for her?

She was studying medicine while the Bush girls were getting wasted and busted. She may be entitled to the scholarship, but if Kerry has any sense at all, he will have her accept the position and then forgo the money.
