OK, students, now let’s get in formation.
On the heels of her legendary HBCU-themed Coachella performance, music superstar Beyoncé has announced a scholarship program worth $100,000 for students at historically black colleges and universities.
The scholarship will be for the 2018-2019 academic year and will go to one student at four chosen HBCUs Xavier University, Wilberforce University, Tuskegee University and Bethune-Cookman University. Universities will select which student, who must have a 3.5 GPA, will receive the $25,000 allotted for the scholarship.
