Four months after the deadly Astroworld tragedy that killed 10 concertgoers, rapper Travis Scott announced a $5 million initiative dubbed "Project HEAL" that he says will be a "catalyst for real change" to heal in the aftermath.
Scott, 30, detailed Tuesday a four-pronged project that includes solutions to address "challenges facing today's youth, especially those from marginalized and at-risk communities": $1 million in academic scholarships to historically black colleges and universities, free mental health resources, a creative design education program and a new tech-driven solution for event safety.
"Over the past few months Iâve been taking the time and space to grieve, reflect and do my part to heal my community," he wrote in an Instagram post. "Most importantly, I want to use my resources and platform moving forward towards actionable change. This will be a lifelong journey for me and my family."
