Braylon Edwards Keeps His Promise and Pays 79 Cleveland Student’s College Tuition
Braylon kept his promise and gave 79 students $10,000 scholarships towards their college education. They were also given laptops and supplies to get them started. The only thing he asked of them was to get a 2.5 GPA and complete 15 hours of community service. That’s something that actually paid forward. 79 out of 100 students completed the task and are off to college. This actually is almost 1 year of his salary of $1 million. Impressive!!! That right there folks, is a fine example of a human being.
There are 22 college campuses across the country that will be getting checks for 79 students who may not there if Braylon Edwards hadn’t stepped in.
Most of them are attending Ohio universities, but some of the schools represented the ivy league. Yes, some of the students will be attending Harvard, Cornell and Johns Hopkins.
Braylon and his mother started the Advance 100 program as a way to give back. The way they saw it, they were blessed with Bryalon’s football abilities and felt the need to help out others with their good fortune. You know; the pay if forward movement. Braylon said in a past statement,“I’m supposed to give people a chance like I was given a chance.”
