High School Senior Jayme Anderson Admitted Into More Than 50 Universities And Received Over $10M In Scholarships
High school senior Jayme Anderson has been admitted to multiple top colleges.
Black News reports Anderson is a student at Forest Hill High School in Jackson, MS, recognized for his discipline in education and his participation in the school’s band. He has a bright future ahead, having been accepted into schools such as Stanford University, University of California Los Angeles, University of California Berkeley, and others. What’s more, he has also received over $10 million in scholarships from more than 50 universities “for his academic excellence and musical talent,” the school district wrote in a post shared on Facebook.
“A standout scholar and dedicated member of the Pride of Forest Hill Band, Jayme’s achievements include offers from top institutions like Stanford, UCLA, Penn State, UC Berkeley, and San Francisco State,” the Facebook post read. “We’re so proud of you Jayme and can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.
Anderson joins a group of bright young Black students who are making headlines for their academic excellence. This includes Victoria Mathieu of Bensalem, PA. As AFROTECH™ previously mentioned, she was admitted to five Ivy League schools, including Cornell University, Brown University, and Yale University.
“I did not expect to get into really any of the schools at all. Once I saw my acceptances and everything, it was just like crazy, insane. I was just thanking God,” she said, according to ABC 6 Philadelphia.
Mathieu will be heading to Yale University and studying law.
“For all my Black queens who think they aren’t capable of Ivy league schools, let me be the one to tell you WE CAN DO IT!! Don’t let people’s prejudices of Black women dictate how far you reach for success,” she wrote in the caption of a TikTok video that went viral with 1 million likes (at the time of this writing).
