Megan Thee Stallion – the popular American rapper, singer, and songwriter – recently launched a new initiative to give back to the community with the new 'Don't Stop' Scholarship Fund. The fund aims to empower young women of color who are striving for an education and is named after her latest single with Young Thug. The artist, a college student herself, is "passionate about the transformative power of education and remains a strong advocate for women pursuing a college degree."
The Don't Stop Scholarship Fund was created in partnership with Amazon Music's Rap Rotation and will award two women of color $10,000 USD each to pursue an Associates's, Bachelors, or Postgraduate Degree in any field of study.
