Scholarship Winner: Jamel Jolivet

Congratulations Jamel Jolivet, from North Forest High School!

For the third year in a row, Texas Mattress Makers is a proud sponsor of KPRC’s Senior Scholarship Program!

This week’s Senior Scholarship Winner is Jamel Jolivet from North Forest High School! Earlier this week we joined KPRC’s team to surprise him during class with a $2,500 scholarship! Jamel is on the Varsity Baseball team and a member of the Chess Club. His principal described him as a fantastic leader on campus.

Jamel is active in his community and volunteered during Hurricane Harvey. He says he learned about hard work from both his mother and father. Jamel dedicated his scholarship prize to his father who recently passed away. After graduation he plans to study Chemistry and be a Pharmacist one day. He’s been accepted to numerous universities but he still has not decided where he wants to go to school. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Jamel!

Be sure to catch this program every Wednesday during the 6 AM and 11 AM news on KPRC, Channel 2!

All winners have been nominated by their school. If you are interested in learning more about the selection process, you can contact KPRC here.
