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.

They can be worth a 1,000 words!!!
I predicted this.
And who will do her papers and projects for her?
Her major will have ‘studies’ in the title.
And she will acquire a union or government job after ‘graduating’.
She can be homecoming queen now.
Amazing, why stop there, she could get a professorship at Columbia. She’s going to make it big $$$$ time for her participation in the trial. Wait till she gets that 1M offer from Larry Flindt.
I guess we’re just too “old school”.
Going to college and getting a marketable education implies shouldering responsibility.
I’ll bet Jeantell passes.
This woman is not prepared for college level courses.
“College?
She cant read, write or speak with any skill”
She could NOT even read her own text! Unbelievable. I can pick an illegal off the entrance of the Home Depot in front of us and he can read what he writes.
It can be worth a 1,000 words!!!
If she majors in sociology, a Kindergarten education will do.
Well somebody along the way, be they parents or people in the schools, or friends, whomever, didn’t take it upon themselves to teach her how to speak correctly. Using slang is fine, as long as you know how to speak and write properly.
Children don’t naturally know how to speak, they copy those around them. When I’m around my friend’s children and they speak improperly, I correct them, so later on, they will know and can get hired somewhere. Apparently nobody at home or in a school drilled it into her the proper way to speak.
She’d do better to learn a trade.
They use a tuition bribe when a bag of weed will suffice; a microcosm of liberal excessive overspending.
ha, this woman makes honey boo boo look like Albert Einstein.
what a joke.
Makes me think of the old Steve Martin routine, "Can I mambo dogface to the banana patch."
She’s not prepared for upper primary grade courses!
Because of her, I now know the meaning of two words:
Nigga & Cracka.
