In honor of the one year anniversary of her game-changing Lemonade, Beyoncé has launched a new scholarship program.
According to her website, the Formation Scholars award will be given to four women who are “unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident.”
The scholarships will be awarded to one woman from each of the following institutions: Berklee College of Music, Parsons School of Design, Howard University and Spelman College. In order to be eligible for the scholarship the women need to be studying creative arts, music, literature or African American studies.
The scholarship will be applied to the 2017-2018 school year. Any further information will be available at the schools themselves.
Perfect.
In a world where Black celebrities put their money behind people and institutions that couldn’t care less about the interests of Black people, and particularly Black women, this is a refreshing change of pace.
