This is very admirable. While Carroll County has relatively high graduation rates for high school seniors, they do not have high rates for further education. Very proud of this young man and I hope he takes advantage of his blessings and goes far.

When I read the headline I thought for sure the answer was going to be an adequate education

No, I've known a lot of bright black kids get a good education, even when we've lived in some not so good school districts. One family in my church had a son graduate from Harvard and a daughter graduate from Yale. Son a doctor, daughter a lawyer.

Hate to say if friend, but kids who's parents have the advantage of Ivey league parents are not in the same class of kids who don't. You know this. To see a kid rise above is phenomenol.

I watched these kids grow up from just little tykes to full grown young adults. It's such a pleasure to watch them grow up well when they have good parents. At the other end of the age spectrum one of the older men, about 70 when we met, became a very close friend through the nearly 30 years I attended that church. A Jamaican men who emmigrated to Connecticut in the 30s to work in the tobacco fields, I attended his 99th birthday before we moved back to New York. Whenever someone greeted him and asked how he was doing he'd answer "Counting my blessings."
 
$10,000 in application fees?... Wait.... No charge for DEI.

Likely DEI as the top schools like Harvard only accept about 3% of applicants.

I am guessing he plays football ?

Why else the million dollar offers ?

So stereotypical of you
 
Nice to see someone doing well; something that is not all doom and gloom.

Black kid excels, multiple scholarships, your knee-jerk response is that it had to be DEI.

Just like @dmpi did. You guys should get along fine.

You tell me then. No one receives an academic scholarship in this amount. Fact.

You have trouble understanding the statement, I see. His scholarship offers totaled 1 million for the different schools he applied for. Not one sum of a million for one particular school

Kind of misleading isn't it?

Yes it is. And they are not great schools.
