It turns out she didn’t need her parents’ money after all.
The bratty New Jersey teen who sued her mom and dad for child support and college money is bragging about the hefty scholarship she won from a Massachusetts school.
Rachel Canning, who dropped the ludicrous lawsuit against her folks last month, revealed the windfall on her Facebook page Sunday, The Star-Ledger reported Tuesday.
“Decision made,” Canning wrote on March 30. “WNE U class of 2018 BME Major w/ 56,000$ scholarship.”
Western New England University, the school Canning said she is attending, is located in Springfield, Mass.
The school’s tuition is about $46,000 per year, including room and board, the paper said.
This would leave the former Morris Catholic HS student with nearly $10,000 of spending money before she needs to hit up Mom and Pops.
