Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys has put up some of her own money to start a scholarship program to help one student from New York City and three from other cities. Keys is offering $5,000 scholarships to students from Harlem, Jacksonville, New Orleans and Atlanta. Keys will dole out the cash through the Open Doors Scholars Program, which is part of the "Frum Tha Ground Up" nonprofit group founded by Keys' road manager, D.J. Walton. "We're just looking for standout students who are definitely college-bound and need a little bit of help financially to really achieve their dreams," Keys said. |
