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 it’s 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 you’d 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.

You leave out the best part. Lots of these schools don't even MENTION their median SATs.
In my state, we have Bowie State, Sojourner-Douglas, Morgan State, Coppin State, UMES (Univ of MD Eastern Shore). Only UMES publishes their median SAT - 1290.
As for schools with under 400 average per section, I think the winner is: Saint Pauls College in Lawrencville, VA with a median SAT of 1030, which works out to about 343 per section. They barely edge out Paul Quinn College, SAT = 1044, in Dallas Texas. These two schools make Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC, a positive intellectual powerhouse with a median SAT of 1100!
But, hey, brains ain't everything, right? If you can mix up a mean batch of Lean, after all...

She can be the next POTUS!!
Not yet, but give her a break!.....she's only 19!
Sounds like a lemonade moment .
If she actually follows through and makes something of herself as a result of this generous gift, what an Eliza Doolittle example THAT would be!
I don’t think she will ever be charged with perjury. Look at Crystal Mangum. She lied about being gang raped but the AG Roy Cooper refused to have her charged because she had psychological problems. She kept custody of her children, set her boyfriend’s clothes on fire and then shot and killed a boyfriend. Not sure if it was the same or a different boy friend. (She had many - at least 9 or 10 guys’ DNA was in her when she claimed rape.)
“Princeton could use a gal like Jeantel.”
And maybe after that she could get get a scholarship to the historically black Howard University Law School where the students stood up and cheered in unison when the OJ verdict was read.
Cold fusion will soon be commercially available due to this learned students education. All of the free energy the earth will ever need.
RE: “Princeton could use a gal like Jeantel.”
Why specifically Princeton?
Clown College?
The horse analogy is inaccurate as horses if thirsty are smart enough to drink.
