According to her website, the program aims “to encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident.”
Four scholarships, beginning in the 2017-2018 academic year, will be awarded to one student at four colleges: Berklee College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design and Spelman College.
It’s clear that Beyoncé sees education as a critical tool for society.
