Lizzo is giving back to the students at her alma mater who are creating a music career.

Last week, the 35-year-old global superstar announced her new scholarship for students attending the University of Houston in honor of Juneteenth. In the video, Lizzo said that collaborating with the university  is “very close to my heart, near and dear to home and a milestone for me.”

“It is for any young Black student from Houston, Texas who has applied to go to University of Houston to study at the Moores School of Music,” she said. “That was me just a couple years ago, a young Black flute player who just needed a scholarship and someone to believe in them. Now I get to pay it forward.”

As part of her Juneteenth giveback initiative, Lizzo has made her fourth contribution with the scholarship donation. This series of donations also includes $50,000 given to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute. The institute is an organization dedicated to supporting the Black transgender community. Donations also went to Black Girls Smile, an organization providing mental health services to young Black women, and the Sphinx Organization, a social justice program that offers musical opportunities to Black and LatinX individuals.

“LIZZOS JUNETEENTH GIVEBACK IS PROUD TO PRESENT 50,000$ TO THE ‘SASHA BE FLOOTING SCHOLARSHIP’ AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON,” the Grammy winner captioned the announcement video. “Thank you to @universityofhouston for your partnership and support.”
