Dana Bolden is a teen from Mississippi who is in her senior year in Jim Hill High School in Jackson, United States. She said she began considering which colleges and scholarships to apply to over the summer holidays and decided to start applying.

“Once school started, I just decided to go ahead and knock it out and start applying to a bunch of schools, I didn’t think that I would get to this point of $1.4 million in scholarships, but I’m very grateful that I am and I’m very grateful that I have the opportunity to get this far,” she said.
An academic advisor at Jim Hill high school, Frank Branch said her achievement is exceptional as the school has never recorded a student having that amount of scholarship funds in total.
“Every year, we normally would have $1 million, $2 million or $3 million babies, as we call them. But this is the first time that we’ve had anyone achieve over a million dollars in September,” Branch said.
