If Megan Thee Stallion is anything, she’s multifaceted. By day, the Grammy Award-winning musician is a college student studying Health Care Administration at Texas Southern University and by night, she is the infamous ringleader of the hotties. The multi-platinum recording artist is adding another career to her litany of achievements: a college lecturer.
The Houston native will be participating in Long Island University‘s “Industry Expert Speaker Series,” where she will be speaking to enrolled students at the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment on her deft knowledge of the industry and offering her expertise on navigating it all. But of course, Megan is notorious for putting her money where her mouth is and this time her philanthropy will provide a full-tuition, four-year scholarship for a student looking to pursue their education at the university’s Roc Nation School.
“Getting an education is incredibly important to me,” she said in a statement. “I still have academic goals that I want to achieve, so if I can use my resources to open doors and create opportunities for at least one student, then it’s a victory. It’s important that we encourage our students to pursue their passions and put them in positions to become the next game changer in whichever fields they choose.” As for the emcee’s educational plans, the 26-year-old is still balancing the demands of her stardom and her studies in hopes to one day open a healthcare facility in honor of her late mother and grandmother. “I want to get my degree because I really want my mom to be proud,” she told People following her mother’s sudden passing to brain cancer in 2019. “I want my big mama to be proud. She saw me going to school before she passed. My grandmother that’s still alive used to be a teacher, so she’s on my butt about finishing school. I’m doing it for me, but I’m also doing it for the women in my family who made me who I am today.”
