President Donald Trump promised Tuesday at his State of the Union address to give a Philadelphia fourth grader a scholarship that would allow her to attend a school of her choice. It turns out Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, is going to pay for that scholarship out of her pocket.
An Education Department spokesperson told local news outlet Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos would directly provide a scholarship to Janiyah Davis, and her mother Stephanie, who were invited to Tuesday’s presidential speech in Washington.
