Beyoncé launches Formation Scholars scheme for young women
Beyoncé is launching a scholarship programme in the USA to mark her Lemonade masterpiece turning a year old.
There will be four 'Formation Scholars' awards available to young women studying creative arts, music, literature, or African-American studies at participating institutions - Berklee College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design, and Spelman College.
Available from this coming academic year, the scholarships aim to "encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious, and confident."
If you're interested you can apply through the colleges' own sites.
