and has been accepted to 175 colleges and universities. While that is an impressive feat by itself, Barnes has also been offered more than $9 million in scholarships from more than 125 different schools, a national record, according to his school.
FOX TV Stations reached out to Guinness World Records to confirm the new record but Guinness could not confirm it at this time. The school is also working to confirm Barnes’ record. Barnes chalked up his amazing achievement to hard work and most importantly, sticking to his goals. He’s also been enrolled at Southern University of New Orleans for the past two years in order to gain college credits while attending high school. "I like the Kansas City Chiefs, that’s one of my favorites," Barnes said. Barnes was moved up grade levels due to his exceptional academic performance, which is why he will be graduating at 16.
