In one of mine comics there says a man to his daughter:i didn't put you through college so you can walk a beat.
His Daughter says then:
You didnt put me though college mine scholarships did.
So does it mean she is still in college or is she done with that.

When he says, "I didn't put you through college so you can walk a beat," he's saying that he doesn't think she should be a cop, and he's also implying that college-educated people are above being police officers. (Whoa! Nice attitude!) "Walking a beat" is old-school slang for being an officer. It refers to the area that a cop watches over, walking around it and making sure nothing bad happens.
The daughter's response means that she paid for college herself through scholarships. Her use of the past tense suggests that she is already done with college.

She is finished with college. What she meant is that he did not pay for her college education; it was paid for by means of scholarships. The man is trying to assert authority over his daughter, but she is replying that since he was not supporting her at the time when she needed it, she no longer has respect for him.
