+ + +
Travis Scott is giving back through his new Nike collaboration.
+ + +
The rapper, 31, is set to donate a portion of the proceeds from his Cactus Jack x Nike Air Max 1 drop to his Project HEAL initiative
+ + +
a representative for the rapper confirms to PEOPLE. An exact figure has not yet been announced.
+ + +
Launched in March, Project HEAL is a multi-tier initiative dedicated to addressing challenges facing today's youth
+ + +
particularly those in marginalized and at-risk communities.
+ + +
Earlier this month, it was announced that Project HEAL and Scott's Cactus Jack Foundation had awarded $1 million
+ + +
in scholarships to students from 38 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).
+ + +
The sum was divided and distributed to 100 students.
+ + +
The scholarship was named for Scott's grandfather Waymon Webster
+ + +
who himself was an HBCU educator at Prairie View A&M University — where he was also a student.
