The duo created the fund which is expected to benefit nearly 1,000 students in the Philly area. The money, which will go toward the 2020-2021 school year, will help students from pre-K through high school get access to resources they desperately need during the pandemic, TMZ reports.
It was said that the students from poverty-stricken homes who are selected to receive a scholarship will be able to use the money to either attend private/parochial schools throughout the city with costs covered. For those who want to continue virtual learning, they can use the funds to access equipment like WiFi, laptops, and tablets.
This relief effort is just one of many the guys have put together. As we previously reported, Michael created the All In Challenge during the early part of the pandemic. Several celebrities did their part including Meek, Drake, Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, and more.
