Fake scholarships? Student accused of fabricating story, claims to have received offers from 30 schools across the US and UK
JULIAN MARTIR – Netizens are expressing doubts regarding the scholarship claims of a tricycle driver’s son, which allegedly amounts to P106M, offered by 30 schools in the US and UK.
Julian claimed that he was offered scholarships totaling $1.9 million or P106 million from 30 international colleges and universities across the US and the United Kingdom. However, doubts arose when the principal of Negros Occidental High School (NOHS), Donna Bella Atosaga, refused to confirm Julian’s claims during an interview. The school has not received any responses from the said schools to verify Julian’s scholarships.
Among the schools where he allegedly received acceptance letters were the following; Ohio Wesleyan University, Clarkson University, Hofstra University, Marquette University, Alfred University, Xavier University, Duquesne University, DePaul University, Regis University, Simmons University, Woodbury University, The University of Texas at Arlington, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Webster University, Ball State University, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Connecticut, The George Washington University, Fordham University, Kent State University, Michigan Technological University, The University of Arizona, The University of New Hampshire, Drexel University, Johnson and Wales University, University of Massachusetts Boston, Stony Brook University, the University of Colorado Boulder, Clemson University, Richmond, and The American International University in London.
While Julian was not the valedictorian, he did receive honors according to the principal of NOHS. Despite the doubts, Julian maintains his story and claims to have been a victim of cyberbullying and trolling. He asserts that the documents he presented are genuine and not fake. Julian provided PDF copies of acceptance letters from the colleges he applied as evidence.
