Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said Saturday that his daughter Vanessa has won a Fulbright scholarship to study medicine in London. Vanessa Kerry is a 27-year-old Harvard medical student who frequently travels with her father's campaign. According to the Fulbright Web site, about 1,000 U.S. students are awarded the federally funded fellowships each year of about 4,500 who apply. Kerry told reporters traveling with him to a long weekend vacation in Idaho that Vanessa recently found out she was one of this year's winners.

A billioneers daughter, and a scho;arship? How ironic is that? I find this appalling, since htey are so rich, and should NOT qualify for this scholarship. What a waste, and fraud!
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?
Ease up folks. Perhaps she wants to study to be a Proctologist. No one can deny that she has had lots of experience around a**holes for most of her life.
I don't think Clinton finished the program no.
She's not going to Fulbright College. She's going to London to study medicine on a Fulbright scholarship.
Since her father made her a legal bastard, after the annulment of the marriage, she's probably qualified as a minority applicant.
So you're a proponent of rewarding based upon need rather than merit?
ROFL!
Just like chelsea who was never there and has a plush high paying job. Alex, , another dog, will also. These elites make me sick.Terrible look alike to her father, that hair and makeup, can't hide. Webster Hubble must be very proud!
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.
I am totally convinced she earned this on her own. I mean its not like she knows anybody who could pull a few strings.
HYPOCRITES-R-US
Kerry is all about the little people, ya know. He probably gets food stamps too since they have such an expensive diet.

The Fulbright Schalrship is a GRANT. It is TAX MONEY given to students to use for a specific purpose. Vanessa Kerry's parents have a combined net worth over a Billion Dollars. They do not need government money to educate their daughter. But of course they will not turn it down either.
Pray for W and The Truth
She has a honker I've seen on few women.
I agree, the amount of acreage she's dragging around COULD equal the noses of three women. :)
John Kerry said Saturday that his daughter Vanessa has won a Fulbright scholarship "...and 3 purple hearts, and a silver and bronze star to be awarded later no doubt
Here's what I found when I went to the website:
You've found the right place for information on Fulbright Scholarships, which are awarded by private sector companies.....

And .. when her father loses the election .. she'll be happy to be in London!!
