Since 2003, The Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund (SCSF) has helped low income students achieve their goal of higher education.
The program, which provides individual scholarships to institutions to cover tuition and related expenses, was started by Jay-Z [born Shawn Carter] and his mother D. Gloria Carter. They are now celebrating the SCSF's 20th year.
“The Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund has helped so many students across America achieve their goals of higher education,” said Dr. Carter. “We believe that education is the key to unlocking opportunity, and we’re proud to provide students with the resources they need to succeed.”
The SCSF has awarded scholarships to over 200 students across America every year for the past twenty years with awards in amounts of up to $7,500. The deadline for this year’s scholarship will be April 30th so interested students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
