Louisiana High School Student Accepted to 106 Colleges, Earns $4.5M in Scholarships
A Louisiana high school student has been accepted to 106 colleges and awarded $4.5 million in scholarships. Kassidy Parnell has a 4.1 GPA, is graduating at the top of her class at Tara High School in Baton Rouge. The teen is also taking computer science classes at the Baton Rouge Community College where she is dual-enrolled at. Kassidy got acceptance letters from colleges including Southern University, Saint Louis University, Butler University, Oklahoma State University, Marquette University, Seton Hall University, Loyola University Chicago, University of Kansas, and Kent State University.
Kassidy earned 4 full-ride scholarship offers and 13 Presidential Scholarships along with dozens of academic and merit scholarships. Each school offered different amounts of scholarships which go up to $150,000. Kassidy father Lorenzo Bynum said they knew they would be successful.
“This girl is a hard worker, loyal friend, organized, witty and makes good decisions,” her father told WKBN. “She loves to learn new things. If she doesn’t know something she will look it up and remember everything about it. She is not afraid to explore new horizons and takes pride in her school and the work she does for IBM. She really makes our job easy as parents.”
Kassidy hasn’t decided which college she will attend, but she and her family are touring college campuses every weekend to narrow down her list.
