High school senior Jayme Anderson, of Forest Hill High School in the Jackson Public School District, has received more than $10 million in scholarship offers from colleges and universities across the country.

Anderson was accepted to more than 50 schools for his academic excellence and musical excellence, according to JPS.

“A standout scholar and dedicated member of the Pride of Forest Hill Band, Jayme’s achievements include offers from top institutions like Stanford, UCLA, Penn State, UC Berkeley, and San Francisco State,” the district said in a social media post. “We’re so proud of you Jayme and can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next.”
