Beyoncé is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Lemonade, her award-winning visual album, by launching a scholarship program for young women. The singer made the announcement on her website Tuesday.

The Formation Scholars program will kick off in time for the 2017-2018 academic year "to encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious, and confident."

Four scholarships total will be awarded to incoming, current, or graduate female students studying creative arts, music, literature, or African-American studies at Berklee College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design, and Spelman College. The announcement does not specify the scholarships' financial worth.

She can do what she wants with her money but I wonder the fallout if someone such as Ted Nugent had scholarships for men.

Does she plan to teach them how to dance in a disgusting way and sing songs that degrade women? That’s where her expertise is.

But do they have to be born female? Or just identify as female?? Because if Beyonce Knowles wants to prove she is liberal she can’t discriminate against men who now identify as women.

Oh, good point. Biological males and everything unknown and uncalculated can dance, sing, and posture in ways that would be degrading to females if there were such a thing as female.

Whoop DE do. For budding nasty women.

For a real scholarship program, see the Carson Scholarship Fund from Ben and Candy Carson.

That's very sexist and patriarchal of her. Why no scholarships for women studying engineering, physics, or computer science?
