Meek Mill and Michael Rubin are teaming up to provide financial relief for underserved kids in their Philadelphia hometown by starting a $2 million scholarship fund.
The scholarship money will assist approximately 1,000 pre-K to high school students from low-income households during the 2020-21 school year. It will cover their tuition at private and parochial schools and provide access to much-needed at-home technology, including laptops, tablets and WiFi connection.
The scholarships are immediately going into effect due to the COVID-19 pandemic requiring virtual learning across the nation and the resulting economic crisis.
