“I knew at a certain point I didn’t understand some of the vernacular he was talking about and I said ‘I got to get him some help,’ his mother Pamela Preccieley said during the special signing ceremony. “I knew Southern University had the resources.”
Preccieley will be entering Southern University as a sophomore in the spring of 2019 to study physics and mechanical engineering. He also received a full scholarship through the Joseph S. Clark Presidential Scholar Award, per MadameNoire.
“When I reflect upon this prestigious Joseph S. Clark Presidential Scholars Award, it means absolutely legacy,” the 11-year-old genius said. “Southern University is our inheritance to sharpen and affirm our skills and carry out our initial standards to transform lives and be the best God has called us to be.”
In addition to his academic responsibilities, Preccieley will also be hosting a weekly radio show.
