Charlamagne Tha God from the nationally syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” spent this past weekend at South Carolina State University’s homecoming. But he wasn’t just there to visit his home state or watch the football game–Charlamagne gifted the school with $250,000 for a scholarship fund (The Ford Family Endowed Scholarship Fund) that is named in honor of his mother and grandmother.
Here’s the caption Charlamagne posted with the video of the announcement.
My mother is an alumni of @scstate1896 class of 75. Today was South Carolina States homecoming and I had the honor of announcing “The Ford Family Endowed Scholarship Fund” Ford is my mother’s maiden name and my grandmothers last name. We will be providing scholarships to black women in South Carolina who Major in English, (my mother’s major) Communications, (because I’m a Radio/TV Guy), and for any sister that wants to be a mental health professional. Always remember investing in an HBCU is investing in the future of our people so the next time an HBCU ask for money, open that wallet. It’s a blessing to be a blessing! All Praises Due To God!!! P.S. Speaking of GOD my creator told me to announce that I’m tapped out until February so to all friends and family don’t even consider calling me this holiday season for nothing. Have a blessed day. #wefightdifferent
Hopefully Charlamagne’s generous donation will inspire others to help where they can.
