A North Carolina teen's hard work paid off in a big way.
Seventeen-year-old Jasmine Harrison was accepted to 113 colleges and universities and awarded more than $4.5 million in merit-based scholarships.
With help from her school's faculty and her mother, she was able to apply to all those schools for just 135 dollars.
"When I got the first couple in the mail, I was like 'Well, this is really happening.' I didn't really think I'd be able to do that by myself." Harrison said.
Harrison plans to attend Bennett College in Greensboro on a full scholarship.
She plans to major in biology.
Harrison says she wants to become a neonatal intensive care nurse.
