Rapper Travis Scott will be giving away US$1 million in scholarships to students from 100 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The grant will be given to students from the graduating class of 2022 via his Cactus Jack Foundation.
The Cactus Jack Foundation is named after Scott's grandfather who was an HBCU educator and is spearheaded by his sister Jordan Webster who graduated from Howard University this year.
In October 2020, the rapper pledged to pay a semester's tuition for five HBCU students.
The following month, he launched the Cactus Jack Foundation, and introduced the Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund to cover tuition fees for HBCU students that year.
