Man's aunt steals $9k in scholarship checks from his daughter, so he puts a lien on her RV as payback: ‘"She's smart, she'll win more scholarships’"

A hard pill to swallow? A college education doesn't pay for itself. Between merit scholarships, work study, and sports grant money, you can usually find a way to cut corners a bit in terms of tuition and room and board. Not all of us have the finances to cover ourselves through college, especially when you're only 18 years old and trying to figure out which summer internship you should apply to in a few months.

Luckily, the different financial aid avenues available to most university students help them pay for what they couldn't pay for by themselves. Certain niche groups often have scholarships that are specific to them. Think women in STEM, aspiring environmentalists, and the like. Scholarships are well-earned, but any student who is in possession of a large sum of money must be careful with whom they talk about it. Someone is always pocket watching, and sometimes, it's your family.

The next story focuses on an aunt who manages to steal $9k worth of scholarship funds from her grandniece, who earned it by being a female student in STEM. It's difficult to be chosen for merit scholarships because many intelligent candidates apply for them. However, even if it were easy to do, stealing something that belongs to someone else, especially a younger individual you are related to, is a new level of low.

What did the aunt use the funds for? A vacation to Cancun, of course. What she didn't know was that soon, she'd end up losing nearly everything near and dear to her because of her rash and selfish actions. Stealing from a child is one thing, but being unapologetic about it is the nail in the coffin. If you keep reading, you'll learn that this isn't some petty thing that the aunt did. There's police involvement, divorce, and whole lot of learning one's lesson. Scroll to read.
