Wright-Jones, who wants to be a doctor, competed for and was awarded a Gates Millennium Scholars scholarship that covers not only his undergraduate education but seven possible avenues in graduate degree programs. He was encouraged to pursue the prestigious scholarship by Detroit East English Village Prep counselor Gwendolyn Mia, who also happens to be the mother of his good friend and Wolverine football fullback Khalid Hill.
