Anyone remember that whole "athletic scholarship" scandal from a few years back, then Doctor Dre was bragging about his daughter getting into USC on her own...until someone pointed out he just donated millions of dollars to the school....

Athletic scholarships are legitimate. The scandal was that someone was bribing coaches to falsely identify athletic recruits.
Sounds like he helped the school and paid for this kid. What's the problem?
The word you're looking for is "bribed".
