Travis Scott is doing his part to make sure hundreds of Black college students graduate on time. His Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund has awarded a hundred students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities a million dollars to make sure that they aren’t derailed by last-minute financial hurdles.
Soon-to-be graduates who earned at least a 3-point-5 GPA in their final semester each got $10-thousand. Among the scholars are Florida A&M University pharmacy major Nisha Encarnacion, who is from the US Virgin Islands and paid her own way through college while supporting her mother and daughter; Fisk University computer science major Chisom Okwor, whose goal is to help transform developing countries in Africa; and North Carolina Central University broadcast journalism major Jordan Massey, who took on a ton of debt to get his communications degree.
The gifts were part of Project HEAL.
