Lucky SOBs!

Nice gesture. Feel bad for those who worked long hours and studied as well just to pay fees. I guess it is always better to owe and hope luck comes your way

Wow

Before I state my opinion, 1. It's still super generous. And 2. It's his money so he can do what he wants with it. With that being said though, and without knowing the full story, it sounds like it would be kinda a disappointment for those that worked and paid their way.

Proudly to say My second bachelor degree is from Georgia College!! I missed the cafeteria fried chicken so much! Go Georgia College!

Come on folks! “A billionaire commencement speaker...”. He has a name idiots🤦🏼‍♀️🤦‍♂️💋💋💋

Good gesture. kindness

Crazy, talk about blessings.

Scott’s tots

A grand gesture. Perhaps a more tailored use of the $40m would help more poor students not just the Class of 2019. But it’s his money. And boy was that a headline!

Scott’s tots?
