Are you a high school, college or trade school student? Well, the Shawn Carter Foundation, founded in 2003 by Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter and his mother Gloria Carter, is here to help!
According to the Shawn Carter Foundation's mission statement, its goal is "to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships further their education at post secondary institutions." On April 1, the Shawn Carter Foundation launched a new scholarship fund aimed at doing just that, according to TV One.
"By removing some of the financial burdens associated with going to, surviving in, and graduating from college, the [Shawn Carter Foundation] plays a vital role in increasing college access and success for many motivated yet underserved youth and young adults," reads the foundation's scholarship fund page.
Eligible applicants can apply for the scholarship at the Shawn Carter Foundation website here!
Applicants can submit between now and April 30.
Good luck!
