Beyoncé has just raised the bar high when it comes to women empowerment by giving away four college scholarships that will help pave way towards a brighter future for women.
As a way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the release of her groundbreaking visual album, Lemonade, Beyoncé decided to extend her kindness by fulfilling four women’s dreams.
The new “Formation Scholars,” are aptly named after the single “Formation,” empowering anthem on black womanhood and will be awarded to students studying the creative arts, music, literature or African-American studies. Per the announcement, the scholarship is designed “to encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident.”

The scholarship will be available for the incoming school year at Berklee College of Music, Parsons School of Design, as well as two historically black colleges or universities, Howard University and Spelman College. It appears that the details on how to apply are particular to each school. In an Instagram post, Howard University said it will announce the application process in the next month, but Spelman College already has an essay prompt on its financial aid website for the $25,000 scholarship. It asks: “How has the album ‘Lemonade’ inspired your educational goals?”
