Radio personality Tom Joyner has offered Rachel Jeantel, the friend of Trayvon Martin who spoke to him shortly before he died, a full scholarship to any Historically Black College or University she chooses. The website Joyner founded, BlackAmericaWeb.com, confirmed the news. Jeantel spoke to Joyner on his radio show Tuesday morning.
He said to her: "If you want to graduate from high school, and go to an HBCU, even if its not in Florida but especially Florida,like Florida Memorial, Edward Waters or FAMU, if you want to do that, I want to help you do that. I will help you get tutors to get you out of high school, tutors to help you pass the SAT and I will give you a full ride scholarship to any HBCU youd like."
Joyner said he was moved by Jeantel's testimony. The funding for the scholarship will come from the Tom Joyner Foundation.
Jeantel reluctantly took the stand to testify for the prosecution in the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman. She told the courtroom that she heard Martin say "get off, get off" before the call cut out and Zimmerman shot him. During her testimony, which spanned two days, she was mocked online by people insulting her dress, mannerisms, and intelligence.
Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges on Saturday.

All the tutors in the world aren’t going to be enough to bring someone up to college-level if her IQ is only roughly 70.
She really ought to start slow... maybe a commercial or two.
She could be the new Nabisco Spokesthing.

She's a shoe in for the DMV, SSA, TSA or as an Obamacare guide.
She will become an inner city school teacher at Malcolm X Jr HS, or one of the thousand MLK HS’s, DOOMING the next black generation in the US.
Yesterdy I cudn’t evin spel gradiate...toda I ar one!!!
sorry about size.... but she was really big!!!
Listening to the horrible way she speaks....they need to concentrate on getting her through a real High School first!
This girl is a national embarrassment.
Nice PR gesture, but Im betting he made it believing that theres no way she would meet the admissions requirements, and therefore he wont ever have to pay her a cent.
If he were genuine hed be offering her immediate accademic assistance in the form of tutors and a private school education.
Excellent read.
To the low information / emotion driven MSM followers , they won’t ever
pick up on the SAT requirement , GPA, etc....
She's SES material in some agencies.
