Apart from getting admissions into nine US universities, the lady said she also got funding in various forms.

Now, one of the schools has sent her an email, informing her of their decision to withdraw the scholarship offer.

Blessed said:

"My US scholarship got withdrawn. Yea, you heard me right. I lost my US scholarship. So a couple of months ago, in November specifically, I made a video telling you guys that I was admitted into nine US universities. From New York University to American University in Washington DC to Boston University Metropolitan College, you know lots and lots of other schools that I applied to. And I was admitted and they offered me various funding packages. From full funding to partial funding and all of that. But then I changed my mind that I wasn't going. Last week, I got an email from AU where they made me a new funding offer and I opened it and the amount was literally half of or less than half the original offer. The next day, I got another email from another school. Theirs was not even slashing, they just took it all."
