I served on the cohort youth leadership board and developed the body of work that Mr. and Mrs. Wynn told me would help me receive a full scholarship to an HBCU. After following their advice, I was offered a full scholarship to the honors college at Claflin University and a full scholarship as an Alumni Scholar to the North Carolina A and T Honors College. As a result of their guidance, everything has been paid for through my scholarship, including books, fees, room, board, and tuition. It has not cost me anything! AND, I am now an ELC Scholar!TaRetta [GA]

My amazing journey began in the College Cohort with Mr. and Mrs. Wynn. My college knowledge was Ivy League, UGA, Georgia Tech, and the University of Alabama. Through the cohort curriculum, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn introduced me to liberal arts colleges and specialized college programs like the Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland - Baltimore County. Mrs. Wynn prepared me for the Meyerhoff Scholars Selection Weekend and I was selected as a Meyerhoff Scholar. I went on to earn 3 degrees at UMBC BS in Math; BS in Statistics; and a BA in Economics. I was then selected as a Rhodes Scholar and am pursuing a PhD in Economics at Oxford University in England.Sam [GA]

As a first generation Vietnamese student, I had no understanding of how to navigate my way into college or the type of scholarship programs for which I matched. Thankfully, I was able to meet Mr. and Mrs. Wynn through the Guilford County Schools College Planning Cohort program. They guided my college and scholarship research, reviewed my financial aid offers, and even communicated with colleges on my behalf. I attended Elon University as an Odyssey Scholar and received both my BS/MS in Accounting debt-free!Yuzu [NC]

During the summer prior to beginning my senior year of high school, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn changed my life. They guided me into Dillard University and helped me develop an essay that landed me the MC Lyte Hip Hop Sisters Educating our Men Scholarship. I received a BS in Physics from Dillard and a MS in Engineering from Georgia Tech.Justin [GA]

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn are like my second parents. I was just beginning the 11th grade when I found out about their program at my high school. From that point they guided every step of my college planning journey, guided me in telling my story through my essays, and guided me in building relationships with colleges through their fly-in programs. After my all-expenses paid visit to Caltech, I knew that it was the perfect fit to begin my college journey.Tuyen [FL]

I joined the College Planning Cohort program as a rising 9th grader. I read the news article about Kimberly and the scholarships that she had received and I thought, "That could be me." Then it was me! Mr. and Mrs. Wynn guided my journey throughout high school across my academics, leadership, and service. My plan resulted in my being selected as a Yale Young Global Scholar, LEDA Scholar, and receiving a full scholarship to Brown University. I am also a Jack Kent Cooke College Scholar.Omar [GA]

As a triplet, my sisters and I needed full scholarships to help our parents avoid taking out loans. Joining the cohort and working with Mr. and Mrs. Wynn landed all of us full scholarships. I received my full scholarship from Claflin University where I have loved my HBCU experience.Tristyn [GA]

At my high school everyone was focused on trying to get into an Ivy League school, Georgia Tech, or UGA. If you could not get into one of those schools, then you attended the University of Alabama. When Mr. and Mrs. Wynn told me that I was a good match to liberal arts colleges like Amherst and Williams, I honestly had never heard of these colleges. After landing all-expenses paid fly-in visits to Amherst, Bowdoin, Carlton, Middlebury, and Williams, I knew that Williams was the right fit. When I told my classmates that I was going to Williams, they incredulously asked, "Is that a community college?"Loren [GA]

My parents put me in the College Planning Cohort program as a rising 9th grader. In the 10th grade I put myself in the program and absorbed every ounce of information that I could receive from Mr. and Mrs. Wynn. I developed my leadership profile, expanded my community service, and developed an intentional pathway into my top choice college—The University of Chicago. Not only did I receive a full scholarship to the University of Chicago as an Odyssey Scholar, I was also selected as a Ron Brown Scholar.Faith [GA]

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, when I joined the cohort and read about the stories of students who had received full scholarships, I thought my only full scholarship pathway would be through athletics. Wow, was I wrong! Being offered a full scholarship to Northeastern and receiving a full scholarship as a Cheatham-White Scholar to North Carolina A and T was unimaginable. My mother and I can never thank you enough for all that you have done.Jada [GA]

I was not planning on attending college, but enlisting in the military. When I met Mr. and Mrs. Wynn as a high junior all of that changed. They convinced me that college was a possibility and that even a full scholarship was possible for someone like me. They were right! I am now a 3rd-year student at Williams College on a full scholarship majoring in chemistry and planning to apply to medical school.Juliana [SC]

I am 1 of 8 siblings from rural Lake City, South Carolina. Prior to joining the cohort as a 10th grader, I had resolved to attend school in South Carolina and take out student loans. However, Mr. Wynn nominated me for the Northeastern University Torch Scholars Program and accompanied me to Boston for the Interview Weekend. My journey as a Northeastern University ‘Torch Scholar’ has been surreal. I have now received my BS in Political Science and Africana Studies [debt free] and I am a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Graduate Fellow at Northeastern University.Damian [SC]

In the 10th grade, when I joined the cohort, I did not know anything about colleges beyond South Carolina. As the valedictorian of my high school class and first in my family to attend college, I had no idea that I needed a body of work beyond academics to get into top colleges or being awarded a full scholarship. I will be forever grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, and my discussion group leader, Rev. Dr. Yolanda Davis, who guided me on an amazing journey into a full scholarship at Williams.Jayla [SC]

During my mid-year assessment as a high school junior, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn pointed out all of my weaknesses in leadership and service and guided me in developing a plan beyond being a top academic student. The plan worked! I was offered admission to my top college choice—Georgia Tech—and received a full scholarship as a Georgia Tech Gold Scholar, an honor only offered to the top 2% of entering freshmen, who demonstrate scholarship, leadership, and service. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn are experts. Their expertise helped me to see beyond grades and test scores to the intangibles of college admissions.Justin [GA]

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn have been a part of my journey since the 8th grade. They guided my pathway throughout high school and into a full scholarship at Georgia Tech as a Clark Scholar. They have continued to support my journey with prayer and insight into learning strategies and study skills to help me through my biomedical engineering program. They are like my second parents.Tyra [GA]

My mother is a high school counselor so I had a plan to attend college in-state with the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship. Since I was not a recruited athlete, I thought that my baseball career was over. Then I attended the college planning boot camp and learned that not only could I continue playing baseball, but that my grades and test scores qualified me for a full scholarship at Tuskegee University and Xavier University of Louisiana. After receiving the Presidential Scholarship to Tuskegee University, I was able to walk on to the baseball team #22).Ryan [FL]

When I met Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, I had been selected as a QuestBridge College Match Finalist. However, I really did not know which schools to which I best matched or the nuances of college admissions. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn helped me to rank my school, communicate with admissions officers, avoid what would have been a disastrous decision of withdrawing from AP Calculus, and being offered a full scholarship to Claremont McKenna College.Timoy [GA]

Although I attended a private high school, I did not receive any college advising beyond how my GPA and test scores matched to colleges. I was told that I did not match to my top choice college—the University of Southern California. However, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn helped me to package myself, create essays that told my story, and provide a context for my application in a way that the USC admissions officers could believe that I was a good fit. It worked! I was offered a conditional acceptance where I attended Long Beach Community College for a semester and then transferred into USC.Isaiah [GA]

As the first in my family to attend college and receiving no college-planning guidance whatsoever at my school, I was lost. I had no idea how I would pay for college and assumed that student loans were inevitable. Then my Godmother introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. Wynn and the rest is history as I am now attending Vassar on a full scholarship.Tiffany [PA], Vassar

Mr. and Mrs. Wynn guided me into a full scholarship at Claflin University that I turned down to pursue enrollment at a bigger school. However, that did not work out so well and where I eventually left school. Then out of nowhere, Mrs. Wynn called to check in on me and wow! I am back in school where I should have been all along. Mrs. Wynn's phone call was God sent.Parris [FL]
