A student from Atlanta’s Morehouse College is one of eight recipients of the Homecoming Scholars Award from Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. The scholarship program is part of the singer’s BeyGood initiative for the 2018-2019 academic year.
The Homecoming Scholars Award Program is the second scholarship merit program from Beyoncé and BeyGood. The Formation Scholars Award Program was announced in the spring of 2017 and was open to female students across a variety of studies.
The Homecoming Scholars Award Program, announced after Beyoncé’s Coachella performance, named four universities and extended the program to all qualifying students at the universities, regardless of gender.
All qualifying applicants submitted a 1,000-word essay about one African or African-American thought leader in their field who has inspired them to achieve their goals (educational, professional, and/or community-driven). The essay included how they plan to contribute to history through their own life’s work. All finalists and the eight recipients were selected by committees from the colleges and universities.
