Melania Trump has strongly denied a viral rumor that her son, Barron Trump, was rejected by Harvard University.
The speculation resurfaced after former President Donald Trump cut off \$100 million in federal contracts to Harvard, prompting claims the move was personally motivated.
Melania’s office confirmed Barron never applied to Harvard and called the rumor “completely false.” Despite online chatter and comments from public figures, no evidence supports the claim.
Barron has chosen to attend NYU’s Stern School of Business. In a previous interview, Donald Trump noted Barron had multiple offers but selected NYU over the University of Pennsylvania, where his father and siblings studied.
