Hundreds of incoming Howard University students from across the country were blindsided just weeks before the start of school after learning they had been unenrolled over unpaid bills.
Freshmen were informed this week that they had missed a July 10 payment deadline and would not be allowed to attend the upcoming fall semester at the private HBCU school in Washington, DC. ABC 7 reported.
Students were set to start moving into their on-campus housing on August 3 while the Fall semester begins on August 17.
Isabella Williams had her truck packed and was gearing up to take the long trip from her home in Alabama on Thursday to start her internship with the school’s football team next week when her dream school informed her she was unenrolled.
“Never in my life have I been so disappointed,” Williams said in a tearful video on her Instagram. “Never in my life have I gotten so far and worked so hard for it to be stripped from me on a random Wednesday.”
Williams, who was accepted to 42 colleges, committed to Howard University in May.
Williams said she had two guaranteed scholarships pending from Howard University, who was going to cover the remainder of her tuition balance due in July.
“I had two scholarships from Howard University. I had an $11,000 scholarship and a $16,000 scholarship that was directly from them,” Williams told the outlet.
She said she was as transparent with the school as she could be, sending them document proof that money would come in August and was told “everything was fine” and that her “scholarships could come through later.”

That's a shame. Grand opening, grand closing?
A life lesson earned the hard way.... awesome. Probably the only thing they learned freshman year.
This is modern America. Young people think paying for things of value is OPTIONAL.
That’s how spoiled they are.
Yep.
Yup.
“Never in my life have I been so disappointed,”
…and the gimme dat culture continues. Her major isn’t economics I’m guessing. Pay your bills bonehead
Gee. I guess using the race card is out?😂
Are they going to blame this on Whitey keeping them down?
Deadlines are an ancient remnant of the straight white male colonial slaveholder hierarchy and should always be ignored.
That is what they teach at Howard, right?
Lol.
A learning moment!
If you don’t pay the bill, you don’t get the stuff.
See, college education is working after all!
Its a way of life with young and old alike. I have a relative who decided it was smarter to keep buying all the things he liked than to pay his part of medical bills. A year later he has garnishments all over the place, credit card cancelled. Oh, Boo Hoo.
One last lesson taught.

Of the 500, we get one story.
How many are ghost students?
How many are gaming the student loan system?
How many are electronic creations?
Is it them again, Yogi?. . .
Comments BUMP!
Howard reversed itself with her after her posts. She had an internship with the football team? What, team Ho? It’s too bad as she would have been better off not going there.
Her first class should be Reading Comprehension.
“Williams, who was accepted to 42 colleges”
Yet Howard was her dream school.
What kind of vanity play is this? Or just to see what college was going to give the biggest pile of free $hit?
