Kassidy Parnell also earned 4 full-ride scholarship offers and 13 Presidential Scholarships aside from dozens of academic and merit scholarships. Each school offered varying amounts which go up to $150,000.
Kasidy’s father Lorenzo Bynum, who is the one who keeps track of all the offers, said they knew from the start that their daughter would become successful.
“This girl is a hard worker, loyal friend, organized, witty and makes good decisions,” her father told WKBN. “She loves to learn new things. If she doesn’t know something she will look it up and remember everything about it. She is not afraid to explore new horizons and takes pride in her school and the work she does for IBM. She really makes our job easy as parents.”
Kassidy has yet to decide which college she will attend over a hundred choices. But she and her family are touring college campuses every weekend to narrow down her list.
