Some might remember back in April Beyoncé announced the Homecoming Scholars Award for the 2018 – 2019 academic school year. A scholarship fund of $200k would be divided amongst eight students headed to Historically Black Colleges.
Now, Bey has announced and Bey has delivert.
I prayed on this. Waited.
And the dream came true. Thank you @Beyonce and @XULA1925 for believing in me. And thank you to @jemelehill who my essay was about. Thank you for being an inspiration to black female journalists like myself.Y’ALL I AM A BEYONCÉ RECIPIENT pic.twitter.com/1KEQCUMDHI
