Description

Dennis Barnes, a senior at International High School of New Orleans, set a new national record by receiving offers from 125 colleges and universities totaling more than $9 million in scholarships — more than any other college-bound senior in U.S. history. The school said that Barnes, a New Orleans native, applied to 200 schools across the country and plans to announce his college decision on May 2. The amount of offers Barnes received breaks the previous record documented in the Guinness Book of World Records, held by a Lafayette high school senior who received $8.7 million in scholarships in 2019. The school is contacting Guinness to make Barnes' new record official.
