Kudos to Diddy for giving back to Howard University.
While in Washington, D.C., during a pit-stop at Howard University as part of his “Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour”, Diddy stopped mid-performance to make an announcement. Drenched in sweat, the Hip Hop mogul revealed that he would be pledging $1 million dollars to establish the Sean Combs Scholarship Fund.
While onstage, Diddy stated, “One of the biggest blessings is getting the chance to one day be able to give back. And to support the people that supported you… If I didn’t get some help, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today.
I didn’t graduate from Howard. I was blessed to get my honorary degree but that doesn’t tell the whole story, because the only reason why I was able to chase my dreams was the empowerment that Howard gave me, the support that they gave me, the first two years.”
He added, “I was blessed to received a great education from Howard University. It helped to fuel my success in business and life. This scholarship will make it possible for the next generation of leaders to pursue their dreams and achieve greatness.
I know that Howard students are intelligent, talented, passionate, and their hard work will shape the future. This gift will make sure the whole world knows what they are capable of doing.”
The scholarship will go into effect in the fall of 2017, and will be awarded to students with a business major, a 3.0 GPA, and those who are struggling financially.
