Dennis Barnes’s offers from 125 colleges and universities approach a national record
A high school student in Louisiana has received more than $9m in scholarship offers, an amount that leaves him at least close to clinching what is believed to be a US record.
A Guinness spokesperson confirmed that it does not maintain a record for most scholarship offers made to one individual. International high school officials said they had contacted the organization about recognizing Barnes. Barnes began applying to universities last August, with help from his school’s college counselor. It set off what he described as an overflow of decision letters.
He offered this advice to university applicants: “The road to a successful future is to plan ahead, network with the collegiate partners, and know that if you can see your vision, you can achieve your goal.”
