Following the launch of the ABOUT LOVE campaign starring The Carters, Tiffany & Co. announced the Tiffany & Co. About Love Scholarship program in partnership with BeyGOOD Foundation and the Shawn Carter Foundation. Scholarships were funded by 100% of the proceeds from The Tiffany & Co. About Love jewelry collection, created in partnership with The Carters.
The program committed nearly $3 million in scholarships across the 2021-2026 academic years, supporting students pursuing degrees in creative fields, history, and communications with up to $10,000 scholarships each. The program supports incoming and current students interested in pursuing degrees in creative fields (visual arts, media, performance, design, etc.), history and communications. Participating HBCUs included:
· Bennett College
· Central State University
· Lincoln University
· Norfolk State University
· University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff
“We are appreciative of the support of BeyGOOD, the Shawn Carter Foundation, The Carters and Tiffany & Co.” said Dr. Jack Thomas, President, Central State University. “This opportunity is timely as our students come from many different socioeconomic backgrounds. These funds will have a tremendous effect on who we recruit and our students’ success as they move on to graduate and professional schools and into their careers.”
