For millions of African American high school students and grads with dreams of attending post-secondary educational institutions, the story of Liberty County, Georgia High School senior Madison Crowell is an inspiring one. Crowell through strategic planning and a well-thought-out approach to finding the funds to attend college earned over $14 million in college scholarships and was accepted into 231 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
“I wanted to apply to as many schools as I did…because I’m coming from a low-income area of Georgia and so I want to show the kids here in Liberty County that it’s possible to get accepted into not only just local schools,” she told Good Morning America.
