Shameful.

More than 1,000 Florida college students have found a way to get through college for free. 

As college tuition continues to rise, some students are now turning to self-proclaimed “sugar daddies” to pay for school. 

That includes one student at Florida Atlantic University. The student, who wanted to remain anonymous, said “My dad was a stickler on education, so I was going to go whether I wanted to or not.” 

She obtained a scholarship to pay for school, but when her grades dropped and she lost the scholarship, she didn’t want to tell her parents.

“My parents don’t know anything about this. They don’t know anything about how I’m paying for college…. they think I have a really good job,” the student said.
