Lincoln Prep Senior JaNancia Richard Earns Over $1.5 Million in Academic Scholarships and 53 College Acceptances

GRAMBLING, LALincoln Preparatory School proudly announces that senior, JaNancia Richard, has been awarded more than $1.5 million in academic scholarships and received an astounding 53 college acceptance offers from institutions across the United States.

At just 16 years old, JaNancia has not only distinguished herself through academic excellence, but she also has emerged as a symbol of resilience, leadership, and compassion. Her journey to success is deeply rooted in her upbringing in Quitman, Louisiana, where she was reared as the youngest of three children by a single mother. Drawing strength from her close-knit family, JaNancia has used every challenge as motivation to excel.

Since transferring to Lincoln Prep in August 2023, she has made extraordinary academic strides. With a near-perfect academic record and a 4.0 GPA as a freshman, JaNancia enrolled directly into the Lincoln Preparatory School’s Early College Academy and completed coursework requirements classifying her as a junior at the end of the year. This accelerated program allowed her to take dual enrollment courses at Southern University at Shreveport (SUSLA), where she is on track to receive an Associate’s Degree in General Studies. She is also proud of her most recent score of 25 on the ACT.

Beyond academics, JaNancia has been a driving force in her school and community. She has served as an officer in the Beta Club, participated in local service projects, and held titles as both Miss SUSLA (Lincoln Prep) and Miss Dual Enrollment (SUSLA), representing her peers with dignity and poise. As the treasurer of her church’s youth ministry, she continues to develop leadership and financial stewardship skills that will serve her well in the future. Janancia also serves as President of the National Honor Society.

Her passion for medicine—specifically anesthesiology—stems from her personal experience caring for her grandfather, who suffers from dementia. This calling to serve others through healthcare perfectly embodies JaNancia’s character: bright, determined, and deeply empathetic.

“JaNancia is a once-in-a-generation student whose talents, integrity, and drive will leave a lasting impact wherever she goes,” said Dr. Crystal Washington, Acting CEO/Executive Director of Lincoln Preparatory School. “We are incredibly proud of her and cannot wait to see what her future holds.”

JaNancia Richard’s story is a shining example of what is possible when intellect meets opportunity—and the entire Lincoln Prep family celebrates her as she steps into her next chapter.
