<p>After hitting the stage <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/video-travis-scott-megan-thee-stallion-latto-more-hit-the-stage-at-the-2022-billboard-music-awards/">at the BBMAs</a>, Travis Scott is making headlines for helping HBCU students cross their own stages. Cactus Jack Foundation, founded by Travis, posted a statement to their website regarding their annual scholarship fund. The organization has granted one million dollars to students graduating this semester, thanks to Travis.</p>
<p>The recipients will receive the money from the <a href="https://cactusjack.foundation/">Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund</a>. One hundred grads across 38 historically Black colleges and universities will receive a $10,000 scholarship for their education. To qualify, the students needed an average GPA of 3.5 or higher. Some of the students also faced financial obstacles in the way of securing their degrees.</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Waymon Webster was a Dean of the Prairie View A&;M graduate school. My grandfather wanted me to take it all the way through college, I feel there is a power in education so to be able to give someone the opportunity to fulfill that dream as my papa thought for me is amazing,&#8221; Travis said.</p></blockquote>
