Subject: Whoever keeps replying to comments justifying the scholarship funds being used to pay lawyer fees please stop. Obviously it’s about the principle of the situation as we know there are women out there who haven’t been paid scholarships they have won. No matter if it’s “legal” for Robin to do this or not it’s still very greedy and tacky of her to use those funds because she doesn’t have the money for this case. That money is for young women who earn it through competing. Nothing you say will justify those funds being used to do anything other than pay scholarships.

I’m all for being fair in this situation. This detail actually doesn’t hold any weight against Robin. The Scholarship Fund is not for profit. All non profits are able to use money to pay salaries, pay administrative costs, and legal fees that come about. Whatever is left over is what goes to your mission (ie Scholarships). The MAF ran things the same way. A lot of their money also went to salaries and legal costs." on 14:19:56 10/23/24 Wed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date It is also the young women that raised the money Robin is spending. Her sponsorships are BS. just more requirements for girls to purchase things she gets a kick back on (NT) No name (69-9-235-254-dynamic.midco.net/69.9.235.254) 18:04:41 10/23/24 Wed I am not the one replying to scholarship comments but having read this I am replying now. Under the prior MAO, each contestant signed a contract whereby they acknowledge that any scholarships that were announced do not have to be paid if MAO did not have the money. AFter checking with a state director this is TRUE and the director also told me that MAF also signed that document. So any contestant who competed under those rules and won funds under the prior MAO has no claim to scholarships earned that way from Robin nor from the prior MAO. MAF cannot force Robin to pay them anything. If you competed under Robin and proved eligibility for a schlarship they have been paid. Sorry naysayers but those are the confirmed facts. as yes, a corporation can use funds raised for legal expenses. Funds don't become scholarship funds until they are declared to be as such and segregated. (NT) No name (NoHost/103.108.229.76) 12:37:40 10/24/24 Thu I've looked at the scholarship contracts with Emma's and Grace's classes and neither of those are signed by an MAF representative. Shantel signed them as CEO of the Miss America Org during Emma and Grace's years. So, I don't understand why the women don't have the ability to claim scholarships that were promised to them by Shantel because the whomever bought the IP bought MAO's debts along with the IP. Not that they have paid those debts, except of course to Shantel! Additionally, Shantel started the 501c3 that is now being used as Robin's scholarship fund, so wouldn't that scholarship fund be responsible for paying out those funds to the women, as Shantel signed the agreements and Shantel started the fund and clearly signed it over to Robin?
