Roc Nation has spearheaded plenty of philanthropic initiatives in the past, and Jay-Z’s company’s latest campaign hones in on improving youth education for students in Philadelphia.

The Roc announced an initiative on Friday (June 7) that will assist students with about $300 million in scholarships.

The funding will give underprivileged kids in grades K-12 the opportunity to attend prestigious private schools and various educational institutions across Philly.

“We have enjoyed such a special connection with Philadelphians, so we’ve made it our mission to invest in the long-term success of the city’s changemakers,” said Roc Nation Managing Director of Philanthropy Dania Diaz in a statement. “Impact starts with the students and with awareness. We want to empower the youth and families with the knowledge to pursue their scholastic dreams, make their voices heard and become the leaders of tomorrow.”

"Scholarship amounts for students vary depending on their age group and education level.

Half-day kindergarteners will receive $2,500, K-8th graders get $5,000, while high schoolers can secure $10,000.

Special needs children of any age will be eligible to collect $15,000 in scholarship funding.

For a student to be able to receive a scholarship, their family cannot make more than 250 percent of the federal poverty threshold, which currently sits at $75,000 for families of four."

"Hov and Roc Nation are no strangers to uplifting and connecting with the Philadelphia community throughout the years.

The Roc previously hosted the annual Made In America festival on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and the REFORM Alliance has assisted in passing legislation to help citizens on parole or probation in Pennsylvania."

Niggas real quiet

ITS THE ROC

we gotta suck every billionaire's d*** for doing the bare minimum and giving back? lol

Private schools

How about donating this money to a public school instead, which would impact more students for a longer period of time? But if course that wouldn’t fit the interests of Jay Z’s class

F*** Jay Z

You taking the dinner or the money?

PRIVATE SCHOOLS!?

It’s always the niggas that never gave back saying some s*** like this.

I don’t even like Jay Z but fair play to him on this
