Travis Scott Gives HBCU Students $1M in Scholarships
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on May 23, 2022 For the second consecutive year, the Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund has granted 100 $10,000 scholarships to graduating seniors at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. To be eligible to receive a scholarship, a student must be a graduating senior with an average GPA of 3.5 or higher ago who also may be experiencing financial challenges in their final Spring 2022 semester. This scholarship provides financial support to students and families towards final tuition fees, in order for as many students as possible to graduate and receive their college diploma. All 38 HBCUs were represented in this year’s 2022 class of scholarship recipients, which was named after Travis Scott’s grandfather for his dedication towards Black academic excellence. "Waymon Webster was a Dean of the Prairie View A&M graduate school. My grandfather wanted me to take it all the way through college, I feel there is a power in education so to be able to give someone the opportunity to fulfill that dream as my papa thought for me is amazing." - Travis Scott SOURCE Cactus Jack Foundation If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
