A Florida boy who became an Internet sensation during the presidential campaign has received a full scholarship to Albany State University.
Pahokee fifth grader Damon Weaver says he plans to accept the offer to attend ASU. In a statement released by the school district, Weaver called the full ride a "big relief to my mother and my family." Albany State University has also offered Damon free summer sessions through middle and high school. The school will officially present Weaver's scholarship at a national alumni convention in June in Miami.
Weaver created a buzz last year when he landed an interview with Vice President Joe Biden. Closing the bit, Weaver quipped:
"Senator Biden is now my homeboy."
