Beyonce’s Coachella performance opened with a dynamic tribute to historically black colleges, and now the queen will graciously donate $100,000 to four universities of her choice. The superstar singer announced Monday the Homecoming Scholars Award Program for the 2018-2019 academic year through her BeyGOOD initiative. She plans to give $25,000 each to Tuskegee University, Bethune-Cookman University, Xavier University of Louisiana and Wilberforce University. One student from each school will receive the scholarship money.

In addition, the singer launched the Formation Scholars Awards Program one year ago, which supports creative and bold young women, and the one-year anniversary of her “Lemonade” album.
