Rihanna might be a pop princess but behind the scenes she is always at work (I won’t go there with that joke!) and her latest announcement is something we can give her a big hand for.

Rihanna was born in Barbados and in 2012 she launched the Clara Lionel Foundation to honor her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.

Her Diamond Ball over the last two years raised $2m in 2014 and $3m in 2015 and now she has announced her awesome scholarship.

Billboard.com reported:

“According to the program’s site, each applicant must be a citizen or native of Brazil, Barbados, Cuba, Haiti, Grenada, Guyana, or Jamaica and has been accepted into an accredited four-year college or university for the entire 2016-2017 academic year. Once selected, the recipient may be eligible for $5,000 to $50,000 in scholarship money. Renewal of the award is contingent upon the student’s academic performance, maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. The award can be renewed every three years or until a bachelor’s degree is met, depending on which occurs first.”
