I don't think so - the fact that Nika isn't guaranteed a place on any team argues against it, as well as the extra curricular training that's off the books. Whatever the scholarship is, Nami's is also covered. Currently in sports they're playing with Mila and Nia, who have no interest - it makes it seem a very general sports class. Also, Nika wasn't certain he'd even try out when talking with Jeff. If you had a scholarship for the sport, it's guaranteed you'll be doing the sport, and your whole curriculum pivots around that.
I'd say is more likely a discretionary scholarship, like Vic's.
ocean has a simple out about their going to college and not getting student loans...
She is supposedly a Surgeon/ER doc in NY which make ~400k usd/year; BUT he plays it like they are rather cash strapped compared to others... because Noji has been saving for college and doesn't carry a lot of debt.
all $ questions answered that he had failed to research prior. [doctors in usa make
waaay more than the national average salary NY state even more so, cause its crazy expensive, especially near NYC]
he could use this reasoning and not have to have some crazy lost it all on a bad horse, bad pyramid scheme, etc.
she has been setting aside $ every year since she became their mom to cover college, etc. and college in USA especially a private UNI which this implies is, is what 50k/semester?
how much is an ivy league school per year [not to imply ZPR is ivy league, just bouncing numbers]
....as far as when they talk about costs for MCs psych, maybe Amber doesn't take insurance, she is that sought after? or maybe Noji doesn't trust the Dr's/group therapy he would get with her insurance.
case in point Dana - charged way more than average... and got is cause she was that damn good, not just hawtAF.
