Well i can be true but its like this if ur like a like 40th cousin or something of the president then yes ur related but that doesn't automatically count u for college. Yet if ur a relative he/she sees often then maybe college for free.

Scholarships are discretionary and it is possible that those related to the US President can get to college for free.

I have not heard that. I am related to 2 presidents and my wife is related to one and neither of us went to college free. I think somebody is pulling your leg.

No. However, if the president went to that school, the kid gets preferential admission. It's called legacy preferences. Such as what happened to Bush--getting into Yale with a "C" average.

I am honestly not sure, but after studying how corupt the government system is, that wouldnt suprise me one bit.
If Hilary Duff can get into Harvard, I think it is relevant that being a celebrity or being in the public eye can get you almost anything.

Sounds like an Urban Ledgend to me. As far as I can remember Amy Carter had to pay to go to Columbia. And I believe that Chelsea had to pay for all the schooling that she had, here and abroad.

most colleges want the Presidents name tied to them, so they would be willing to give free rides.
