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.

Bulsh! Schools are not responsible for education, the student is.....You can lead a horse to water...
I predict a major in Black Studies and a minor in Cursive Writing.
And if you don’t select her for a professional position if you find her application/résumé in your in-box, you’re a racist and a creepy ass cracka.
Whitey can attend an HBCU but, students and administration will apply as much “historically black” discrimmination the Crackah so that “all things are equal”.
IOW, don’t turn whitey away, just make him feel the same humiliation we think we would receive if we went to a majority white school.
She’ll graduate with honors at one of dem “skools”.
Of all the deserving Black children out there this jack**s panders to ratings ratings and bullshit instead of giving someone a leg up. Someone that would actually improve themselves and society.
She qualifies for “O’s” staff!
I’ll do something even more productive....going to a bridge over I-25 and try to throw $5 bills into the bed of every Toyota pick up that passes by.
She’s just what the IRS is looking for to administer
the Health care Mandate. No doubt she has Upper Management written all over her. She’d be perfect as Louis Lerner’s replacement.
Of course and she won’t even have to attend!
An apparent failure of the public school system. When she gets to college, she'll get the proper indoctrination in sticking to her script.
Dear Ms. Jeantel:We are proud to offer you a free scholarship at any Black college of your choice...
Wouldn’t giving her a college scholarship be akin to giving a violin to a chimpanzee?
Is “Cursive” a major?
“Better to help her figure out a skill she enjoys and has an aptitude for and pay for her training.”
She could learn to do nails. Is there a black college dedicated to the study of manicures?
Because they hand out college degrees to blacks anyway. After watching Crump I’m convinced they do the same at law schools.
Jus’ gib me tha money!
She is the product of an inferior culture, that has inferior values.
All you White racists need to bow down to this poor oppressed Black victim.
Pray for America to Wake Up
Any more, she could graduate from Harvard, Columbia, Princeton or U of P Magna cum Laude
