He's also not the most studious person around, so I doubt he qualified for a scholarship. But he's got pretty good combat skills (well, when the plot allows him). For an Academy, that must be enough.

Hell, as far as Ozpin was concerned, that was enough for Ruby to get to Beacon ASAP. The other Headmasters can't be too different in that regard.

He must have some money to facilitate immigrating literally halfway around the world. What if he had the money to go, but didn't have much money afterwards?
