Megan Thee Stallion will provide a full-ride scholarship to a student attending Long Island University's Roc Nation School of Music, Sports, and Entertainment.
Grammy Award-winning musician and entrepreneur Megan Thee Stallion announced plans to provide a full-tuition, four-year scholarship for a student looking to pursue their education at the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment at Long Island University.
Prospective students looking to enroll in the program – starting in the Fall 2021 semester – can apply for Megan's scholarship opportunity at apply.liu.edu/rn.
The Houston native also stated that she will be speaking to enrolled students at the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment as part of Long Island University's "Industry Expert Speaker Series," where she will go deeper into her industry experience.
"Getting an education is incredibly important to me," Megan said. "I still have academic goals that I want to achieve, so if I can use my resources to open doors and create opportunities for at least one student, then it's a victory. It's important that we encourage our students to pursue their passions and put them in positions to become the next game changer in whichever fields they choose."
Megan is studying Health Care Administration at Texas Southern University and aims to use her college degree to own and operate assisted-living facilities in Houston, in addition to managing her responsibilities as one of the world's preeminent artists.
In August 2020, Long Island University and Roc Nation announced their cooperation and the establishment of the school, with the first semester beginning in Fall 2021. Students will be prepared for a variety of jobs in performing, entrepreneurship, all parts of music, and sports business management at the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment.
Degrees in applied music, music technology, entrepreneurship, and production, sports communication and marketing, sports management, and voice performance are all available at the school. While participating in intensive internships, students will interact with university professors as well as visiting guest artists and lecturers, ensuring that they graduate with both hands-on experience and a network of professional contacts.
