Only in the land of philanthropy is such a headline a thing, or even a PR move.
So instead of giving the guardian of said teenager 200k to do with as they/he/she pleases in the interest of the child, you set up a education funding scheme? But when the government does it, it's what?

This way Apple gets to make sure it goes to the child's future. Source: Had to finance a big portion of college on MasterCard.
- NedIsakoff 8y agoThis is why. One of my ex's maternal grandma left her a little over $100K for college. The grandma trusted her daughter and son in law to manage it. The parents divorced and the mother went wild for a while and spend it on drugs, partying, and vacations. My ex ended up taking a bit OSAP.
