A father must be equitable among his children in giving gifts, unless there is a valid reason for تخصيص (singling out), such as need, chronic illness, blindness, a large family, or engagement in seeking knowledge. And your father's gift to you is permissible as an appreciation for your pursuit of knowledge.
