LOCAL STUDENT LANDS TWO UT KNOXVILLE SCHOLARSHIPS WORTH $81,400

While some students hope for a single scholarship, Jamaal Quinones is stacking them up. The Hutchins Academy and University High at UTC senior has just been awarded both the Orange & White Scholarship and the prestigious Flagship Scholarship from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Together they represent a combined investment of $81,400 in a young man who refuses to set limits on his potential.

The numbers tell their own story: $1,500 per year from the Orange & White Scholarship. Full tuition and mandatory fees are covered by the Flagship Scholarship. When combined with the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship, these awards add up to $26,400 and $55,000 respectively over four years.

Quinones puts it simply: "You must make your success a necessity and not an option. Removing any doubts will get you there." And he's living those words these UT Knoxville scholarships follow his earlier full-ride offer from Berea College as a Woodson Scholar.

"Every time I turn around, Jamaal is bringing in another impressive offer," says Marie Mott. "We are watching a young man who has turned his work ethic into gold. These aren't just scholarship offers, they're universities competing for a student they know will make waves on their campus."

The race for Jamaal Quinones is on. And he's just getting warmed up.
