<snip>
Barbadian pop superstar Rihanna is helping students from the Caribbean attain college education through her Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF).

Rihanna will offer grants, through the Global Scholarship Programme, to residents of Barbados, Brazil, Cuba, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti and Jamaica who are eligible to attend school in the US and have been accepted into an accredited four-year college or university.

Through the needs-based scholarship, these students will have the opportunity to receive an award between US$5,000 and $50,000 to go toward their tuition. Awards are for undergraduate study only and may be used only for tuition expenses.

The application window launched on Monday, May 9 and will remain open until June 10. Fifty winners will be selected and announced later in August.

In a video also posted on YouTube on Monday, Rihanna said: “I don’t think it’s fair that children should carry the burden of financial limitations at school at such a young age. We launched the CLF initiative [towards] these basic needs that children have in the schools.”

3. "Fifty winners?"

A poor word choice since these are actually need based scholarships.

That aside, Rihanna just got cooler in my eyes.
