The only Kennedy I aware of who plagiarized was Teddy. And he cheated in Law School I think, or was it College?

IIRC Profiles in Courage was allegedly ghostwritten by Ted Sorensen...

Wiki: Theodore Chaikin Sorensen (May 8, 1928 – October 31, 2010) was an American lawyer, writer, and presidential adviser. He was a speechwriter for President John F. Kennedy, as well as one of his closest advisers. President Kennedy once called him his “intellectual blood bank”.[1] Notably, though it was a collaborative effort with Kennedy, Sorensen was generally regarded as the author of the majority of the final text of Profiles in Courage, and stated in his memoir that he helped write the book. Profiles in Courage won Kennedy the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. Sorensen helped draft Kennedy’s inaugural address and was also the primary author of Kennedy’s 1962 “We choose to go to the Moon” speech.
