[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was just another way for a sponsor to give him money, and take a tax deduction. Nathan could have gone to any university. [/quote]

No, the scholarship was specific to Yale. The school really wanted him to attend and offered daily private ice time for him on their campus rink. [/quote]

Really?  Can you cite?  A google of "Nathan Chen Yale Scholarship" turned up a lot of results but all I found was this:

– Michael Weiss Foundation Scholarship Recipient (2009-2015)
– Ron and Gayle Hershberger Award (2012)
– Athlete Alumni Ambassador Award (2011)
– Cecilia Colledge Memorial Fund Award (2010 & 2011)
– U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund Recipient (2018 – 2012)

None of those are Yale-related awards that I could see.

I think you might be mistaken.[/quote]

It’s a private scholarship, and he has also received other scholarships/awards in the past 8 years.  The figure skating world is quite small and not all info is on Google. You don’t have to believe it, but he did receive a full scholarship to Yale. [/quote]

NP. But, sounds like it wasn't from Yale. That is the point PPs are making. Ivies themselves don't offer merit scholarships.  Perhaps some alum funded something,  but it doesn't seem it was the university. [/quote]
