At the age of 19, N’Aaliyah Jno Baptiste, a remarkable woman, has graduated with a first-class mathematics degree from Edward Waters University in Florida, where she was admitted at the age of 16.
Baptiste, from Dominica, not only achieved her Bachelor of Mathematics degree with a 3.94 over 4.00 cumulative grade point average at the university, she also received important accolades and recognition for her remarkable performance.
Convent High School was her first school, but due to the hurricane, she had to relocate from Dominica to the United States. She received a one-year high school advancement upon arrival in the US due to her exceptional performance and grades.
Baptiste continued to flourish, receiving top honors from her high school graduation and acceptances into other colleges. She decided to study mathematics at Edward Waters University after receiving a Presidential Scholarship offer.
She was the youngest student on campus when she enrolled at Edward Waters University at the age of sixteen. Baptiste continued with her academic brilliance and was still interested in other things on college.
She took a break to enlist in the US Army, where she performed admirably as well. Contrary to expectations, her military leave had no impact on her academic performance, and she graduated from the university in the same year as her peers.
Baptiste finished with the highest distinction (Summa Cum Laude) and was the second-best graduating student of her set.
Baptiste’s academic achievements include being named to the Dean’s List, the Provost’s List, the President’s List five times, and the Highest Student Government Association GPA Award.
She led the orientation workshop, received the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) Scholarship in the spring of 2019, and served as the vice president of the sophomore class of the Student Government Association for the 2019–2020 academic year.
Baptiste intends to pursue a Master’s degree in Business Administration at Louisiana State University located in Shreveport, United States. (Master’s)
