[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]

Your quote was "No, the scholarship was specific to Yale".  But there is no evidence of that, and evidence to the contrary was shown. Even on a yale page: https://schwarzman.yale.edu/artist/nathan-chen-24-0

He did not receive a scholarship to Yale from Yale.  Yale only offers need based aid.

You have to cite claims that go against evidence with other evidence, or they can be easily dismissed.[/quote]
