Beyoncé and Jay-Z Scholarship Program

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter have announcd a new scholarship program that will award one exceptional senior high school student, with financial needs, up to $100K in funds to put toward their enrollment in a college or university for the upcoming academic year. The award will serve as a dedicated university-based fund for each selected student throughout the duration of the student's enrollment.

This back to school season, students in OTRll Tour markets, who are preparing for college, will be chosen by Boys and Girls Club of America. Qualified students must demonstrate academic excellence and show financial needs that would make it hard for them to enter a college or university for the academic year.
The markets include Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Arlington, New Orleans, Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Clara and Seattle.

The Carters have had a long history of helping students with The Shawn Carter Foundation spearheading college tours to HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and providing scholarships to college bound students nationwide

Beyoncé, through her BeyGOOD initiative, created the Formation Scholars Award, a merit program, in 2017 to help female students start or further their college education, and this year announced the Homecoming Scholars Award, a second merit program, opened to qualified students, regardless of gender, to enter or continue their studies at one of eight HBCUs.

The deadline for this scholarship is usually in OCTOBER of each year, and the award amount is usually up to $100,000.
