As triplets, working with Mr. and Mrs. Wynn landed all of us full scholarships—2 of which were to HBCUs. While one of my sisters received a full scholarship to Claflin University, I received mine as a Dowdy Scholar at North Carolina A and T where I am about to receive my BS in Kinesiology and enter graduate school to receive by DPT in Physical Therapy.College Planning Cohort (GA) [Mount Paran Christian School]
My journey has been incredible. I was offered over $2.5 million in scholarships, including full scholarships to Tuskegee, Wake Forest, and the University of Richmond; and generous financial aid awards to Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Duke, and Davidson. I am happy to be attending the University of Richmond as a Richmond Scholar! Mr. and Mrs. Wynn were like a second set of parents. [Kristen, University of Richmond - Richmond Scholar]Guilford County Schools Cohort [Southwest Guilford High School]
I am so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Wynn. As first generation Vietnamese immigrants, my parents could not offer any college planning guidance, but Mr. and Mrs. Wynn were there to guide me every step of the way and introduce me to the QuestBridge Program, fly-in programs (UPenn, Caltech, and Dartmouth), and help me write essays that told my story. While a top academic student, their guidance helped me to stand out as a leader. Now, being on a full scholarship to Caltech is like a dream. College Planning Cohort (FL) [St. Petersburg High School]
Mr. and Mrs. Wynn are amazing. I cannot think of a single part of the college planning process that they did not help me with from preparing my application to the Spelman Honors College, comparing my financial aid award letters, applying for the CodeHouse and ELC Scholarships, and preparing for interviews. Nowhere was their support more meaningful than in challenging my thinking and guiding me through the emotionally stressful and mentally exhausting essay writing process.1-on-1 Advising [Heritage High School]
Oh My God! I can’t believe it. Due to problems at my school, I missed the QuestBridge deadline and was devastated. However, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn pulled me together and kept me focused on developing a solid college list and game plan. They helped me with my Common Application and UChicago Supplemental essays, guided me in strengthening my academic résumé, reviewed my Common Application, and supported me in developing the strongest possible application for UChicago. They assured me that Early Decision was my best chance of being offered admission and that I would be pleased with the financial aid award that UChicago would offer. I was offered admission with a full scholarship—It is surreal! [Sydney, University of Chicago]Pinellas County Schools Cohort [St. Petersburg High School]
Mr. Wynn, I could have never imagined that you and Ms. Nina's guidance when I was a third-grader would result in 6 full college scholarships (Amherst, Duke, Princeton, Vanderbilt, Washington & Lee, and Williams) upon my graduation from high school. Like myself, many of the students at my high school had never heard of Williams College (or the full scholarship opportunity). However, now as a third-year, I have found the right place to learn, grow, and continue exploring my passions for math and science. My mother and I can never thank you enough for what you have done for us. [P.S. I have declared my major (Mathematics and Chemistry) and believe that I will be pursuing a PhD in Mathematics.][Kimberly, Williams College]Turner Chapel AME Church Cohort [Paulding County High School]
Erin, a member of the class of 2025 joined our College Planning Cohort Program as a rising 9th grader. Working with Erin throughout high school, Erin was offered admission to her top choice college—Rice University—and offered full scholarships to Northeastern University and Tuskegee University.College Planning Cohort (GA) [Kennesaw Mountain High School]
Taylar, a member of the high school graduating class of 2025 joined our College Planning Cohort Program as a 9th grader. Using what she learned as a 9th grader to plan her high school trajectory, Taylar returned to work 1-on-1 with us following her junior year. She has been offered full scholarships to Spelman College and Xavier University of Louisiana.1-on-1 Advising [Kennesaw Mountain High School]
I honestly had not given serious thought to attending an HBCU, but Mr. and Mrs. Wynn suggested that I take a close look at Xavier and Tuskegee. Following their advice, I took a road trip with my parents to visit both schools. I was offered full scholarships to both schools and accepted the Distinguished Presidential Scholarship from Tuskegee where I am on the baseball team (#20) and majoring in mechanical engineering.College Planning Cohort (FL) [Lakewood High School]
Although a top student attending one of the top ranked public high schools in Georgia, I was totally unaware of any college pathways beyond the Ivy League or Georgia Tech/UGA—the only schools that students at my school talked about. Being introduced to the UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars Program, patterned after the HBCU "culture of caring," put me on a life altering trajectory. In addition to my scholarship, I received 3 degrees [BS in Math and Science, and a BA in Economics], and was selected as a Rhodes Scholar. I am now pursuing my PhD in Economics at Oxford University.College Planning Cohort (GA) [Walton High School]
Joanne, as a rising 10th grader joined our College Planning Cohort on the advice of her younger sister, Jocelyne, who was serving on our youth leadership board. Joanne would go on to be offered admission, together with a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University. Joanne was also selected as a Jack Kent Cooke College Scholar.College Planning Cohort (FL) [St. Petersburg High School]
Jocelyne, a member of the Class of 2025 joined our College Planning Cohort as a rising 6th grader. Jocelyne served on our youth leadership board and was a founding member of the College Cohort Club at her high school. Jocelyne was offered admission, together with a full scholarship to Brown University.College Planning Cohort (FL) [St. Petersburg High School]
Omar, a member of the class of 2024, joined our College Planning Cohort Program as a rising 9th grader. Omar served on our youth leadership board, was selected as a Yale Young Global Scholar, and as a LEDA Scholar. Omar was offered admission, together with a full scholarship to attend Brown University and was selected as a Jack Kent Cooke College Scholar.College Planning Cohort (GA) [Paulding County High School]
Mr. and Mrs.Wynn gave me so much guidance throughout my entire high school experience, and I couldn't have gotten to where I am without them. They're the ones who pushed me to apply for the school that gave me my first full ride scholarship, and they opened up my mind to even the thought of outside scholarships. I've become a college advisor for all of my peers, from freshmen to seniors, and all of the things I teach them are things that the Wynn's taught me. I am infinitely blessed to have the Wynn's to help me, because I know people with the exact same grades as me in the exact same situation I'm in who didn't get full ride scholarships, but the knowledge I was equipped with allowed me to get a full ride. The Wynn's helped me to figure out what I want in a college and how to get money at the college I love, and I can't thank them enough. Thank you a million times over!! [Sydney, North Carolina Central Honors College - Cheatham-White Scholar]Guilford County Schools Cohort [Early/Middle College @ GTCC]
Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, I don't know where to begin. You guided my college planning; prepared me for 3 scholarship interviews (all of which I was awarded scholarships) and opened doors to extraordinary college opportunities, including full scholarship offers from North Carolina A&T, Appalachian State, and Claflin University. "Thank You," is insufficient to convey how very grateful I am to have been in the Guilford County Schools College Cohort. [Joshua, North Carolina A&T Honors College - Dowdy Scholar]Guilford County Schools Cohort [Eastern Guilford High School]
I thought I knew everything there was to know about the college planning process. I am a top performing student in a rigorous college prep program and my parents are college graduates. Wow! I could not have been more wrong! My essays were awful. I did not know how to check the online portals. My Common Application was a mess! Thank God for Mrs. Wynn and this program. I am on my way to UNC - Chapel Hill with a full merit scholarship. [Thaddeus, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill]Guilford County Schools Cohort [High Point Central High School]
Through the college research conducted in the cohort, I discovered that the liberal arts college experience is ideal for me. I will have the opportunity to explore a broad range of topics and interests prior to deciding on a major. Carleton is a great place and felt like the right fit to spend the next four years of my life. If you would have told me in September, when I joined the cohort, that this is where my life would be in December, I would not have believed you! [Bre'an, Carleton College]1-on-1 Advising [Grayson High School]
Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, words cannot express how grateful I am for all of your guidance and support through each step of the college planning process. As a first generation student from Viet Nam, with non-English speaking parents, I do not know what I would have done. Now, to have 3 full college scholarship (Elon, UNC-Greeensboro Honors College, NC-Chapel Hill) from which to choose, I now have an amazing opportunity. [Thuong, Elon University - Odyssey Scholar]Guilford County Schools Cohort [The Academy at Smith]
Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, Thank you so much for your guidance. While I was disheartened at not being invited to the Mount Holyoke Diversity Weekend, you encouraged me to apply ED and go all in for my dream school. Not only was I offered admission, but a scholarship valued at over $200,000! Thank you for your prayers and your guidance. [Madison, Mount Holyoke]Guilford County Schools Cohort [Grimsley High School]
Senior year has been so stressful. With my AP course load and school activities, it has appeared overwhelming. However, I am so grateful that I was part of the Crossroads for Teens College Planning Cohort Program (Walton High School). Mr. and Mrs. Wynn exposed me to amazing college opportunities—liberal arts colleges, cooperative education programs, and honors colleges. My college list soared as I learned more and discovered my 'fit.' I am on my way to Boston and Northeastern University where I have received the Dean's Scholarship. [P.S. I finished my first year on the Dean's List with straight A's and was offered admission to the Honors Program. I will be going to London this summer for a language program. I will keep you posted!] [Malathi, Northeastern University Honors College]Crossroads for Teens Cohort [Walton High School]
I don't know where I would be without you. Honestly, when I first met you [Mr. and Mrs. Wynn], I had no idea what direction I wanted my life to go in, and now, I still have no idea. But, I have a college that will support that indecision and coach me through it. If you had told me that I would be going to the #1 ranked liberal arts college on a full scholarship, I would've been so confused and in disbelief. I still am! Aside from my parents, there is no one more instrumental in my high school journey than you and Mrs. Wynn. [Loren, Williams College]Crossroads for Teens Cohort [Pope High School]
I was picking squash with my family as Migrant Farm Laborers when my Spanish teacher asked if I could return home early and attend a college planning boot camp at my school. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn not only introduced me to the Gates Millennium Scholar Program, but assisted me in writing the 8 essays. In April, 2016, I was selected as the 2nd Gates Millennium Scholar in the history of Florence County School District 3—both since introducing the College Planning Cohort Program in 2014. Wow! As the first in my family to graduate from high school and attend college, I feel as though I am living a fairy tale. [Rebeca, 2016 Gates Millennium Scholar, Francis Marion University]Florence County School District 3 Cohort [Lake City High School] [Lake City High School]
Dillard University was not on my list of schools and I had never heard of the MC Lyte Hip Hop Sisters Scholarship. However, as a result of participating in the cohort I quickly discovered that my top schools—LSU and Florida State—were unaffordable. The résumé and essay developed through the cohort helped me to become a strong applicant, as I was blessed to receive a full scholarship to the Dillard University dual degree program (Physics/Engineering), where I will complete a second degree at Georgia Tech. I found a place where I not only fit, but where everyone is pulling for my success. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, I could not have done it without you. [Justin, 2017 MC Lyte Scholarship Recipient, Dillard University]Turner Chapel AME Church Cohort [Harrison High School]
I am so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Wynn for all of the time they poured into me. This has been an extraordinary journey that I would have never had imagined to end with a full scholarship to Amherst College. I learned so much about the college planning process and so much about myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you! [Brenna, Amherst College]Guilford County Schools Cohort [Greensboro Middle College]
Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, my family and I would like to thank you for all that you have done to assist me in my college journey. I am on a full scholarship at Francis Marion and looking forward to all that is yet to come. [Cathryn, Francis Marion University]Florence County School District 3 Cohort [Lake City High School]
As the first Gates Millennium Scholar in the history of Florence County School District 3, my grandmother and I will be forever grateful for your guidance into and through college. You have essentially, helped me with everything from my Gates essays, Meyerhoff Scholars interview, financial aid, and even moving into my dormitory. Oh, not to mention, helping me with my FAFSA and Gates funding each year that I have been in college. THANK YOU! [Mikayla, 2015 Gates Millennium Scholar, UMBC Meyerhoff Scholar]Florence County School District 3 Cohort [Lake City High School]
When I began this process, I was dead set on attending North Carolina State. However, as I progressed through the process, explored the many available college options, and looked to find the right college 'fit,' I discovered George Mason University--a place where I believe I will have an extraordinary 4-year experience. Thank you so much for your guidance and support. [Robert, George Mason]Guilford County Schools Cohort [Ragsdale High School]
Thank you for being a part of my incredible journey. Not only did my participation in the cohort assist in my being offered the Presidential Scholarship to the dual degree program (Computer Science/Computer Engineering) at Xavier University of Louisiana, your guidance was invaluable in assisting my parents and me in deciding which of the incredible college and full scholarship opportunities was my best 'fit.' With my guaranteed internship each summer at Google, and returning to Georgia to complete my degree at Georgia Tech, I cannot say 'thank you' enough. [Kyrah, Xavier University of Louisiana - Presidential Scholar]Turner Chapel AME Church Cohort [North Cobb High School]
As a result of following the advice of Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, I am now on a full scholarship in the Claflin University Honors College. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn encouraged me to enroll at Claflin, work hard, and apply to the Honors College as a second-year student. With their advice and my hard work, I have no more student loans and am part of an extraordinary group of highly-motivated students. [Hali, Claflin University Honors College]Florence County School District 3 Cohort [Lake City High School]
Mr. Wynn, thank you for guiding my journey into being selected as a Posse Scholar at Syracuse University. It was an extraordinary experience and I have just received my master's degree from the Yale Graduate School on a Posse Foundation Fellowship. My parents and I can never thank you and Mrs. Wynn enough for all that you have done. [P.S. I have just received my Master of Environmental Studies from Yale.] [Julian, Yale Graduate School]Turner Chapel AME Church Cohort
When I learned about the College Planning Boot Camp being held at my church, I thought, 'Oh well, it couldn't hurt.' Wow! I did not realize how little I knew about the college planning process, and my mom and I knew nothing about the financial aid process. Thank God, I followed Mr. and Mrs. Wynn's advice and applied to the 'right' colleges. Well, I am on my way to Northwestern University on a full scholarship and was also offered full scholarships to the University of Miami Honors College, North Carolina State, and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. [Crystell, Northwestern University]College Planning Boot Camp
Mrs. Wynn, my family and I can never repay you for all that you have done, all of the prayers that you have prayed, and all of the guidance that you have provided. I would not have become a Gates Millennium Scholar without your guidance and support, and the many hours of commitment by you, Mr. Wynn, and my mom in editing and reviewing my essays. Well, my journey continues as a Spelman College alumna and on my my way to Dental School. [Brittany, 2014 Gates Millennium Scholar, University of Colorado Dental School] Turner Chapel AME Church Cohort [South Cobb High School
Our History
I began this journey of college planning began many years long before the popularity of College and Career Readiness became the focus for K-12 schools in America.
Mr. Wynn was born in Pike County Alabama to an unwed mother who simply could not afford to care for another child and arrange for his adoption with a couple from Chicago, Illinois when he was 6 months old. Neither of his adoptive parents completed high school and were part of the Northern migration of Blacks from Memphis, Tennessee to Chicago in search of jobs. His father was a long haul truck driver for the U.S. Postal Service and his mother was a seamstress. The family lived in Chicago’s infamously marginalized South Side urban ghetto where Mr. Wynn was challenged daily to survive street gangs and violence. Despite the challenges that he faced, Mr. Wynn went on to graduate high school and graduate cum laude from Northeastern University with a BS in Business and Computer Science.
Immediately following his college graduation, Mr. Wynn accepted a position with IBM in San Jose, California. After working for 3 years as a financial systems analyst with IBM, Mr. Wynn left his corporate job to create Rising Sun Publishing in South Pasadena, California where he published his first book, Don’t Quit—Inspirational Poetry, together with inspirational note cards, posters, and t-shirts. As a poet, Mr. Wynn taught language arts and public speaking to junior high school students in Los Angeles Unified Schools and mentored elementary school boys in Carson Public Schools. Through these experiences, Mr. Wynn was troubled by the underperformance of Black males and the overall toxic climate and culture in the junior high schools.
Following the birth of Mr. Wynn and his wife’s first son, Mr. Wynn engaged in exhaustive research on Black male achievement, brain-based learning, and gender-specific issues to ensure that his son had every opportunity to be nurtured through his early development. Consequently, in 1992, when his son was but four-years-old, he, Mr. Wynn wrote and published Empowering African-American Males to Succeed: A Ten-Step Approach for Parents and Teachers. The book received international acclaim and with Mr. Wynn becoming a consultant to schools and school districts throughout the United States and Bermuda.
Six years later following the birth of Mr. and Mrs. Wynn second son, Mr. Wynn’s research focus dived deeper into school improvement practices, instructional pedagogy, personality type preferences, multiple intelligences theory, brain-based learning, and how to navigate K-12 schools into college. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn followed the path of their sons throughout their K-12 schooling in California, Georgia, and Florida. Mr. Wynn’s research resulted in several publications to assist teachers and parents.
1995: Building Dreams: Elementary School Edition Teacher’s Guide (with Dee Blassie)
1999: Ten Steps to Helping Your Child Succeed in School
2002: Increasing Student Achievement: A Guide to School Improvement Planning
2005: A High School Plan for Students with College-Bound Dreams
2005: A Middle School Plan for Students with College-Bound Dreams
2011: Increasing Achievement & Inspiring Parent Involvement – Strategies for Teachers
2015: Show Me the Money: Scholarships, Financial Aid, and Making the Right College Choice
Since first entering into the educational arena Mr. Wynn has advocated the simple equation:
Inspiration + Information + Determination = Success
This simple equation reflects the adage:
“Give someone a fish, and you feed them for a day.
Teach someone to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime.”
After being inspired and informed, Mr. Wynn believes that teachers, parents, and students must be determined to own the process.
In 2006, Mr. Wynn, and his wife instituted their beliefs as Education Ministry Leaders of the Turner Chapel AME Church (Marietta, Georgia). The Wynns developed an academic achievement program by informing members of the disheartening levels of Black student achievement across multiple measures from 4th grade scores to SAT/ACT scores. Following this information blitz, the Wynns undertook a campaign of inspiring student achievement in their near ? -member church by reviewing the first semester and second semester report cards of students in grades K-12 and publicly recognizing students earning a 3.0 GPA or higher at the pulpit on “Academic Sunday.” The inspirational component of the strategies further involved publishing student names in the Church Bulletin, acknowledging each student’s name aloud, awarding academic awards, and hosting receptions honor of students success. At the end of each school year, an Eagle Award was presented to the male and female students in grades 6-11 with the highest overall GPA. As a graduating senior, an Eagle Award was presented to the male and female graduating senior embodying the 3 pillars of scholarship, leadership, and church service during a special time set aside in May during service, “Graduation Sunday.” The information component of the strategies began with a “Did You Know” series of weekly Education Ministry announcements sharing facts with the congregation pertaining to Black student performance data in local school districts, throughout the State of Georgia, and nationally across subject areas and ACT, SAT, and AP exam results. The information further included Black college graduation rates and the average student loan debt of Black college graduates.
The inspiration and information was followed by strategies to support increasing student achievement through free adult and peer-to-peer tutoring offered at the church and 8 Saturdays of test prep preceding Georgia Criterion Testing. The holistic strategies and wraparound services provided and supported students and families with the opportunity to demonstrate their determination and “own the process.”
In 2013, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn expanded their academic support program by developing a College Planning Cohort program component through which they worked with families in grades 9 – 12 on the second Sunday of each month throughout the school year to develop college planning and scholarship strategies. In 2014, their first faith-based 23-student cohort was offered over $4.3 million in college scholarships and acceptance into over 125 colleges and universities. The success of their efforts was reported in the 2014 Atlanta Journal-Constitution article, “Church helps students to strike gold on scholarship search” by Eric Strigus, and the Christian Post article, “Georgia Church Helps Student Members Receive $4.3 Million in College Scholarship” by Jessica Martinez.
In 2014, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn introduced their college cohort program into public school districts in South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida. Through each district, their formula and associated strategies achieved similar results to those in their church—increased grades and test scores; increase in rigorous course enrollment; increase in the college-going rates of Black students; the awarding of full scholarships significantly above the national average; and a reduction in student loan debt. Many high schools experienced the first students ever from these demographic groups being offered admission to America’s most selective colleges and universities and most competitive scholarships. In 2015, the Wynns were honored with Keys to the City of Lake City South Carolina in recognition for their first-year 18-student Florence County School District 3 Cohort who were accepted into 48 colleges and amassed over $3.2 million in scholarships and financial aid. The program produced the school district’s first Gates Millennium Scholar and the first student from the State of South Carolina to be accepted into the prestigious Meyerhoff Scholars program at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. In 2020, the partnership with Guilford County Schools was the recipient of the 2020 Magna Award by the National School Boards Association for expanding college access for first-generation and refugee students.
In 2020, recognizing that few fraternities, sororities, professional associations, mentoring programs, faith-based institutions or school districts were intentional in providing the level of college planning guidance needed to reduce the reliance of Black college-bound students on financing their education with student loans and leave college with more student loan debt than all other demographic groups, the Wynns began offering private college advising. Since working privately with students and families, the Wynns have guided students into full scholarships at over 50 times the national average and into the country’s most selective colleges and universities with many of their clients representing the only students in their high school to be offered admission to such colleges and receiving full scholarships.
The ABC News segment provides the most compelling reason for why we are committed to doing the work that we do and standing in the gap for our children.
Through our 5-year partnership with Guilford County Schools First Generation College Student Ambassadors Program (Greensboro, NC), cohort students have been offered admission to such schools as Amherst, Baylor, Bowdoin, Duke, Davidson, Johns Hopkins, UNC – Chapel Hill, University of Richmond, Swarthmore, Wake Forest, Washington & Lee, Williams, and Wofford.
Brenna, one of the students featured in the above video, created a video with her mom to provide further insight into the aspects of our program with Guildford County Schools that were not communicated by Barry, the GCS school district representative featured in the newscast.
Like Brenna, students in our Guilford County Schools program were offered full scholarships to such schools as Amherst College, Appalachian State, Claflin University, Duke University, Elon University, Northeastern University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University,Tuskegee University, UNC – Chapel Hill, UNC – Wilmington Honors College, University of Richmond, and Wake Forest University.
Students have been selected to such prestigious programs as University of Richmond – Richmond Scholars, Elon Odyssey Scholars, North Carolina A&T Dowdy Scholars, North Carolina Central Cheatham-White Scholars, Northeastern Torch Scholars, and UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars.
2020 Magna Award Recipient
Pictured above are students in our Guilford County Schools’ First Generation College Student Ambassadors Cohort working through our online curriculum in our monthly meetings held at Guilford Technical Community College. The success of our print materials, online curriculum, and 1-on-1 guidance earned our program national recognition as the recipient of the 2020 National School Boards Association Magna Award for school districts with 20,000 student enrollment. Through our 5-year partnership with Guilford County Schools, we have assisted nearly 400 students, most of whom are first generation and college aspiring, in developing comprehensive college-bound plans to expand college access and successfully navigate college admissions, scholarships, and financial aid. Participating students have been offered admission to top colleges and scholarships in excess of $10 million over five years.
