Candace Payne’s story just keeps getting better.
She’s visited Disney World, hung out at Facebook HQ and received more Chewbacca masks than she will ever need to use. Now, the Facebook Live sensation and her family can head to college — for free.
Southeastern University, a private Christian college in Lakeland, Florida, announced Monday that it’s offering Payne, her husband and her two children, Duncan and Cadence, full tuition scholarships. Payne learned of the gift during a video shoot on campus, in which she rode around in a golf cart with a silent mascot. (Southeastern’s mascot is Fire, BTW.)
Luckily, university president Kent Ingle was on hand to deliver the news.
