Trump to pay for apprentice contestant's college education

Just seen on Larry King Live on CNN:

The Apprentice contestants were on and Trump called in.

The Don said that if nobody else objected (of course nobody did), Trump would like to pay for Troy's college education.

He told Troy to pick the most expensive school he can--because the tab's on him.




(Troy went straight to work after high school so he could support his mom and disabled (deaf) sister)

Very cool, although I don't know if Troy really needs education at this point...I can only imagine the kinds of job offers he's gotten since being on the show.

Good for Troy. Bill may have won, but some of the others are getting great career opportunities(except for Omarosa-she doesn't deserve any).

Troy was in the audience at Conan's show last week. If he's just in the audience and not on any shows, he needs to get any education he can.

thats really cool
troy was definitly the best in my opinion
although he has a family to think about.. so even if trump picks up the big school bills, its going to be a bitch to go to a top notch school (assuming he gets in) full time and still support his family.

unless he also is able to make enough cash on other offers that come up as a result of the show

That's nice of The Trumpster. Hopefully Troy will be accepted to Oxford or Princeton, where he will need all the money he can get!

Anyone can be accepted to any US school for an undergraduate degree, as long as you have the cash, It's the graduate programs that are exceptional, not the undergrad's. Don't know about British schools though

Some of the top undergrad programs have very strict entrance requirements. Like near perfect GPA, near perfect SAT, awesome essay, etc...

Something tells me a recommendation letter from The Trump would help some...plus schools aren't above milking the situation for publicity.

Didn't I hear that Troy already had inspirational speaker jobs lined up?

If that's the case, the good ones start at $5000 a talk. At my last job they had the first woman to climb to the top of Mount Everest drop by and give a talk about safety (although i have no idea what's safe about mountain climbing) I heard she cost well over that figure.

"You owe me $100,000."

He could still do the talks and go to college. And to the poster who said you can get into any school because you have money that is a load of crap.
