The Cool Way Rihanna Is Paying It Forward

by Laura Lajiness Kaupke

Good news for college-bound folk from Brazil, Barbados, Cuba, Haiti, Grenada, Guyana and Jamaica—Rihanna might pay for your tuition. This morning, the superstar singer announced the launch of a new Global Scholarship Program through her Clara Lionel Foundation that will help fund citizens and natives of those nations planning to attend a US university. Ranging between $5,000 to $50,000, these scholarships are major game-changers for high-performing students in need of financial aid and can be renewed for up to three additional years—a potential full ride. Moral of the story? Work, work, work, work, work, work and Rihanna may reward you.
