Chicago twins Shaprice and Deprice Hunt have received more than $1 million in scholarship offers from dozens of schools across the country — and the offers continue to pour in, NBC News reported.
The 19-year-old high school seniors got into 62 colleges combined. Among the schools one or both twins got into: Howard University, Western Kentucky University, Northern Illinois University and the University of Alabama.
Deprice is going to Morehouse College in Atlanta, an all-male, historically black institution. He chose the school because it’s where he would “feel comfortable,” even though the financial aid package was lacking. Shaprice has narrowed down her choices, and will decide in the next few days.
The two want their story to help other students.
"I'm hoping to inspire younger generations to never give up and keep working and stay focused," Shaprice said.
