3:09Now PlayingBNC’s Mike Hill and Bofta Yimam talk about a Massachusetts high school student headed to Harvard University in the fall, who gave away a $40,000 scholarship to a student going to community college, feeling they were more deserving.
“Knowing my mom went to community college and how much that was helpful, I would be so very grateful that administration would consider giving the general excellence scholarship to someone who’s going to community college,” Verda Tetteh said during her speech. “It is such a great honor, but I also know that I am not the most in need of it.”
“She’s got a bright future,” Hill says. “She was voted most likely to be president and after seeing something like that, she would definitely get my vote if she continues on that road.”
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
