Was it just a scholarship? (Not a cash payment?)
Was it transferable?
She’s got a Master’s in Social Work, is she going for a Ph.D.?

An online Master’s degree?
And that’s worth $95,000?
Damn I’m in the wrong business.

M.S. from USC prior to this scholarship.
Maybe she had debt to the school and this scholarship cancels it?

Just off the top of my head but it seems like in that instance a grant would fit better.

That's not the way I read it.

During Rep. Karen Bass’ first year in Congress in 2011, she contacted government ethics officials with a request: Could she accept a full scholarship for a graduate degree at USC... ultimately valued at over $95,000...Bass has frequently spoken of how she juggled the demands of an online master’s program during her first three terms in Congress. She graduated in 2015...

No it’s not news. Just your run of the mill corruption and stand up philosophy (bs artistry, if you’re not a Mel Brooks fan).
