At 16, Curtis Lawrence III is confident he made the right decision Sunday when he formally announced his decision to enroll this fall at Florida A&M University.
He certainly had options, having been accepted to 14 colleges or universities, including Morehouse College, Yale and Harvard, while amassing over $1.65 million in merit scholarships.
He is entering Florida A&M University as a junior, having enrolled in fall 2019 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., at age 14.
That coveted acceptance at George Washington allowed him to forgo his junior and senior years after excelling at the Schools Without Walls High School, a public magnet school on the George Washington University campus.
