Dennis Barnes, a New Orleans high school senior, has received more than $9 million in scholarships from more than 170 colleges and universities. That surpasses the previous world record of $8.7 million.
set by another Louisiana student in 2019, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. That student, 18-year-old Normadie Cormier, from Lafayette, La., was accepted into over 130 colleges and universities, including 16 full rides.that it's now working to get in contact with the record-tallying company to make Barnes’s new record official. The school’s leader, Dr. Adierah Berger, added that given Barnes’s ambition, she’s not at all surprised about what he’s been able to achieve.
He was also recently a part of the school’s basketball team and played football earlier in high school. But more than anything else, he admits, he loves spending free time with family and friends and indulging in one of his favorite pastimes after school: sleeping. For the past two years, Barnes has been dual-enrolled at Southern University of New Orleans, where he’s earned 27 college credits while still in high school. This, he says proudly, is thanks to earning all A’s in those classes. Once he matriculates fully to college in the fall, Barnes plans to study computer science and then, after college, go to law school.
Ten years from now, he sees himself as a successful lawyer just beginning to reap the rewards of all his years of schooling, a dream he sees as well within his reach, thanks to being open-minded to all kinds of people and cultures.
