I love to see when others give back, and Jay-Z is doing just that. He recently awarded a $40k scholarship to a Roc Nation student.

The student's name is Samantha Samaka. Let me give you a little back story. If you remember, back in 2020, Jay-Z teamed up with Long Island University to launch the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports, & Entertainment. Samantha is a student there. This is huge and she took to Twitter to show how grateful she was.

She even shared her award letter with the world. Jay-Z shared his thoughts on this scholarship. "We’re excited that the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment will provide unique insight, knowledge, and experiences for students and introduce the world to the next generation of unmatched talent." Congrats to Samantha.
