Rachel Jeantel was the last person to talk to Trayvon Martin before he was shot and murdered by recently acquitted, George Zimmerman. The young lady took the stand as a witness is Zimmerman’s trial and was grilled for two days – not just by the defense, but social media had a lot of negative shots to throw this girl’s way. Meme’s mocking not only her weight, but speech and use of pronunciation. Well, now she can laugh all the way to college since radio personality, Tom Joyner has offered her a FULL SCHOLARSHIP to ANY Historically Black College or University of her choice. I can’t even lie, I shed a tear after reading this! Hit the jump to see what Joyner’s words were.

“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.” That’s so great, especially since student loan rates are rapidly on the rise! Good Luck to Rachel Jeantel!
