A young guy receives a full scholarship to Morehouse College after graduating from high school in the United States with a perfect grade.
Amir Staten, a young child, received a full scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta after graduating from Philadelphia High School with a perfect honors grade.
Amir Staten, a 17-year-old Philadelphia teenager, received a high honors roll grade upon graduating from Philadelphia High School. He was accepted to Morehouse College early as a result of this accomplishment.
His mother captured Amir jumping joyfully across the street when he learned of his early admittance. After this video went viral, it gave him new opportunities.
Amir received a full scholarship to Morehouse College, covering all of his tuition costs and living expenses for the four years he would be there.
Amir was also selected as one of the 15 Bonner Scholars, a 2023 scholarship program that emphasizes community service. After he read the mail, his mother, Karlynne Staten, posted a video of him sobbing in shock.
In the touching video, Amir sobbed as he told his mother, “You don’t have to pay for college.”
Karlynne continued by saying that her son’s journey began much earlier in life rather than just now. She claimed that throughout high school, Amir maintained self-discipline and always took his studies seriously.
In addition to leading his school’s Black Student Union and serving as the basketball team’s captain, he always maintained honor roll grades. Amir finished more than 120 hours of community service, she added.

Karlynne remarked, “He has exceeded expectations and can now relax, sort of.”
Karlynne went on to mention how happy she is for her son’s accomplishment and how working extra jobs has allowed her to save money for Amir’s and his siblings’ education.
In order to attempt to save money, maintain a household, and yet have some money for their college degrees, she added, “I have been working three or four jobs for the last four or five years. He has a twin sister, and I also foster a young boy who is one of Amir’s friends,” she said.
Staten was chosen by a group of employees and the current Bonner Scholars at Morehouse College, according to Kevin Booker, dean and vice president for student services.
Kevin stated, “Amir was chosen by some of those student leaders because they see in him what it takes to be a Morehouse man, and eventually a Morehouse man.”
Without bringing up his popular video, the dean said that Amir had earned the job on his own. He said that Amir’s response really moved him and that he aspires to take advantage of the chance to make a name for himself among the great guys who have graduated from Morehouse College.
In order to continue participating in the Bonner Scholars program at Morehouse College, Amir will need to maintain a grade point average of at least 2.5 and perform 10 hours of community service each week.
