How to follow a blockbuster performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival?

If you're Beyonce, the answer is simple: Announce $100,000 in scholarships for four historically black colleges and universities.

Alabama's Tuskegee University is among the schools that will benefit from the Homecoming Scholars Award Program, via the singer's BeyGood foundation. The others are Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans; Wilberforce University in Wilberforce, Ohio; and Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla.

A student at each of the four schools will receive $25,000 in scholarship money for the 2018-2019 academic year, according to a statement on Beyonce's website.
