North Atlanta High School Senior Receives More Than $2.2M in Scholarships
Kamryn Stargell, a high school senior, says she’s overjoyed after being accepted into 29 universities and receiving over $2.2 million in scholarship awards.
“I was super excited to get in. Mainly because I was really anxious about applying and waiting to see if I was going to get in,” Stargell told Fox 5 Atlanta. The North Atlanta native with the help of her mother started applying to schools and financial aid at the earliest time possible. Stargell has spent 5 months applying and it was worth it when acceptance letters came pouring in.
“Definitely just knowing that I won’t have to graduate with thousands and thousands of dollars in debt and being able to move on to my next step in my career without that financial burden is really just an overpowering feeling,” she said. Stargell is planning to major in biomedical engineering or biology and go to medical school after graduating college.
“Definitely having to choose from so many offers is really a lot to take in but just the excitement of it all is what’s so fun about it. I know the pressure from the beginning of the school year was a lot of work having to manage applying for financial aid and scholarships, but knowing the hard work paid off is really exciting. It’s like a breath of fresh air” she told the news station.
