Travis Scott has created a scholarship for young designers
In partnership with the Parsons School of Design
November 19th, 2020
On the occasion of the third anniversary of Travis Scott Day in Houston, Travis Scott presented a new project of the Cactus Jack Foundation to support the educational path of his young fellow citizens. The main initiative concerns The New School's Parsons School of Design – which will bring the courses of the prestigious New York academy to Houston through the non-profit My Brother's Keeper. The partnership aims to bring fashion education to historically under-represented categories in creative disciplines.
But the initiative also includes the HBCU Waymon Webster Scholarship Program, named after Scott's grandfather, and will cover the university expenses of a number of students selected by Scott at several Texas universities historically linked to the black community, and also a partnership with the city of Houston that will lead to the opening of a program dedicated to teaching agriculture and nutrition to elementary school students called Cactus Jack Gardens.
