After Beyonce’s phenomenal Coachella performance, the Homecoming Scholars Award Program, in collaboration with Google.org, was announced.
The applicants are required to maintain a 3.5 GPA or above in any discipline that according to PRNewswire includes literature, creative arts, African-American studies, science, education, business, communications, social sciences, computer science, engineering and more.
Cletus is a graduate of the University of Buffalo and is studying for a masters degree in Mass Communication at the Grambling State University.
Cletus said after he learned he had won the scholarship, which is worth $25,000, he “just started crying” even though he hasn’t “cried in over a decade.”
Others on the list are Allana J. Barefield, Erin Evans, Caleb Washington, Demetrius Weaver, Jordan Davis, Dartisha Mosley, and Kameron Willis.
