A high school senior at the International High School of New Orleans has been accepted to 115 colleges and universities and was offered nearly $3.8 million total in scholarships.
That gives Antoinette Love, an 18-year-old who plans to major in elementary education, the distinction of being among the seniors accepted by the most colleges with the most financial offers, according to school officials.
“I started applying in September, and just kept applying and applying until my tiny mailbox at home was suddenly overflowing with letter after letter and dozens of scholarship offers,” said Love, a native New Orleanian.
