This is the best video you’ll see all day … nearly 200 students from LeBron James‘ I Promise school network found out they were getting FREE college tuition, and the moment’s awesome!!
The junior class from Bron’s program was told they were going on a college visit to Kent State University in Northeast Ohio … but when they arrived on campus, they got a whole lot more than a tour.
School officials revealed that all 193 kids would have all 4 years of their schooling paid for … as well as, 1 free year of room and board.
Naturally, the kids freaked out!!
It’s not something to take lightly … tuition for in-state students is around $11K a year. 193 students attending for 4 years costs over $8 million.
While the school won’t have to front all that money … it’s still a huge chunk of change.
It’s not just a handout for the students … they have to maintain a good standing with the school by attending class, getting good grades, and volunteering in the community.
This is just the beginning … remember, when LeBron opened his school he vowed to provide college tuition for all of his students.
