Beyonce‘s ‘Formation’ has matured into more than a single and tour. It’s now a movement.
Queen Bey solidified this reality today when announcing the creation of the Formation Scholars program.
The scheme, launched as part of the 1 year anniversary celebration of the ‘Lemonade’ album, is for the 2017-2018 academic year and is aimed at encouraging female students to fearlessly pursue greatness by way of education.
In partnership with notable colleges such as Berklee and Howard, Bey’s foundation will offer scholarships (one per institution) to female students looking to study creative arts, music, literature, or African-American studies.
See details below…
This is major.
Kudos to Beyonce for always striving beyond the celebrity norm to use her platform for powerful and purpose-filled initiatives like this.
She slays. All day.

This is awesome! People can continue to shade Beyonce all they want. One thing that can’t be denied is that Beyonce is a woman & public figure who VERY AWARE of her power & influence especially amongst young girls and women everywhere! Unlike some celebrities who have that same effect and DON’T want to be a role model, Beyonce embraces it & uses her platform for things bigger than herself! 20 yrs strong and this women is JUST GETTING STARTED!!!
Yes Bey since 1997 Omg thanks for saying what I was thinking well said
giving Rhythm Nation Scholarship realness lol.
Now I have to actually type that I agree with you lol
She needs to finish her hooked on phonics classes before she starts worrying about other people’s education. She sounds illiterate.
LMAO
Still following queen Janets blueprint
4?????
Damn girl! Roger Federer out here feeding Africa! Rihanna out here building cancer centers! Mariah out here pumping money into the Fresh Air Fun for Kids! Lebron sending HUNDREDS of kids to college in Cleveland!
But we gonna act like she doing the most by awarding 4 scholarships? 4???????? F-O-U-R?
If this site only gave other artists who were doing big things credit instead of forcing Beyonce’s minimalist everything down out throats, the blogosphere would be a more even platform!
shes a stunt queen!! nothing more..nothing less
I was so excited to hear this news until I realized she was giving away 4 scholarships. Like come on…I have to agree. 100 is a more fitting number. especially considering how much the general public support her.
I guess people forgot about the Survivor foundation Or The Beyoncé Cosmetology Center…..
i guess they did lol.
Who needs a degree when you’re Schoolin’ Life! Thats what im talking bout Bey!
What a dumb saying, this is why this is going to programs like music instead of sciences.
ok. so will she live up to her words in her destiny’s child song “nasty girl” and go put some clothes on cause we are tired of looking at it!!
Can she purchase I mean receive her high school diploma yet?
She still hasn’t gotten one, how long has it taken her to complete her GCE?
How is this major only beyonce does it? Celebrities are out here doing this everyday, people who just got money do this kind of thing for “inner city kids” and “urban kids” ALL THE TIME! And it’s only for 4 people?
It’s major because Beyonce and her mosquito hive don’t value education.
Firstly, why? It’s not like her fans go to school anyway or can even qualify to go to college.
Secondly, what a mess of programs. What does a degree in music get you besides being a bus boy.
I guess she has run out of made up awards to purchase.
Samantha, this new layout is trash.
Copying Rihanna’s Global Scholarship program.
