Amir Staten is a 17-year-old boy from Philadelphia who graduated from Philadelphia High School with a high honors roll grade. This achievement earned him an early acceptance into Morehouse college.

When Amir found out about his early acceptance, he was recorded by his mum jumping across the street with joy. This video went viral and it subsequently opened doors for him.

Amir was awarded a full ride scholarship to Morehouse College with all his four years college tuition fees and expenses paid.

Amir was also named one of  the 15 Bonner Scholars, a community service-focused scholarship program of 2023. His mother, Karlynne Staten shared the video of him crying in disbelief after he read the mail.

“You don’t have to pay for college,” Amir told his mom with tears in the heartwarming video.

Karlynne went further to say her son’s journey did not just start, rather it started much earlier in his life. She said that Amir disciplined himself and has always taken his academics seriously during his high school years.
