A Missouri high school senior has made headlines for his huge-hearted response to earning a college scholarship. Having saved over $1,000 of his own money toward college, the teen decided to gift the money to another student in need.

Joshua Nelson, 18, a senior at St. Charles West High School, is hoping that a donation drive will see his $1,000 multiply. Naming the fund The Joshua Nelson Leaders in Action Scholarship, he hopes that by gathering support and momentum, it will become an annual affair.
