Beyoncé and Jay-Z are teaming up with Tiffany & Co. to provide scholarships to five historically Black colleges and universities.
The Love Scholarship program is being made possible through the BeyGOOD and Shawn Carter Foundations.
Following the launch of their “About Love” campaign, the New York-based jeweler has pledged two-million dollars in funding towards the program.
The schools receiving scholarships include Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Norfolk State University in Virginia, Bennett College in North Carolina, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and Central State University in Ohio.
“We would like to thank the Shawn Carter Foundation, BeyGOOD, The Carters and the Tiffany & Co. family for including Lincoln University in this amazing gift,” Dr. Brenda A. Allen, president of Lincoln University said in a statement.
“Lincoln has placed a high priority on supporting the arts and humanities on our campus. Providing financial support for students pursuing these majors enhances their ability to more fully engage their studies.”
The Carters have a long history of supporting HBCU’s. In 2019 Jay-Z assisted an HBCU bus tour. While, Bey’s BeyGOOD foundation has awarded scholarships to HBCU students for many years.
Its’s great to see artist bring love to HBCU’s and put money to back higher education.
