Travis Scott Donates $1 Million in Scholarship To Help Black College Students

Travis Scott's Webster Scholarship Fund, named after his grandfather, has donated $1 million in scholarships to help black college students graduate. The students from 38 schools, including Alabama A&M University and Prairie View A&M University.

Travis Scott recently agreed to give away $1 million to establish a scholarship fund to help Black students graduate this year. The foundation is already looking ahead to raise their work next year.

The seniors must graduate with an average GPD of 3.5 or higher for the scholarship grant and face financial strains in their final semester. The scholarship will bring 100 students over the finish line with diplomas in hand.

As per TMZ, the seven-digit amount will be distributed to students and be rewarded $10,000 each at historically black universities and colleges who are on their course to graduate from the class of 2022.

The students should come from over 38 schools, like Alabama A & M University, Jackson State University, Morehouse College, and Prarie View A & M University. The scholarships will be divided through his Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund, founded on behalf of his grandpa.

Additionally, the senior students have reached academic excellence but have faced the last-minute financial challenges in the second semester of their senior year. This time is the second year Scott has supported HBCUs, the organization said.

Furthermore, Travis is dealing with the controversy after the fatal Astroworld Festival but is now using his star power for a good cause. Scott stepped up his charitable trust after November 2021's Astroworld festival that took the lives of ten people dead and many injured.

The festival's organizers and Travis faces multiple lawsuits, which may cross over $10 billion. According to the victims, Travis encouraged tragic events. Allegedly, the organizers failed to maintain the proper safety measures.

A female fan, Shanazia Williamson, filed a wrongful suit after saying she sustained injuries at Astroworld that caused the death of her unborn child.

The court document reads, "There was a failure to plan, design, manage, operate, staff and supervise the event was a direct and proximate cause of Shanazia's injuries and death of her and Jarawd's miscarriage."
