NBA baller LeBron James is planning to send nearly 200 students involved to college, tuition free.
LBJ partnered with Ohio’s Kent State University to grant those 193 students free tuition (~$11K/yr) for four years, including free room and board for one year.
Michele Campbell, executive director of the LeBron James Family Foundation, stated, “The I PROMISE program is built on the ‘earned, not given’ philosophy. We are so excited that our students that have worked incredibly hard have earned even more life-changing opportunities to grow and excel.”
