I Was Gonna Cry- Student Says Emotionally After Rick Ross Presented Him & Other High School Students With Scholarship
Together with Tariq Cherif, the co-founder of Rolling Loud, Rick Ross has donated a total of $10,000 in scholarships to eight Miami high school pupils.
Students were thrilled to see Rozay, a graduate of Carol City Senior High School, return to his old haunts earlier this week in honour of Boss Up Day 2023.
“It’s a beautiful thing to be rocking with the Vikings, the Chiefs out here,” Ross told Local10. “Better believe it.”
One student named De’Zyre Frederick who received a scholarship added: “[Ross] being an alumnus and then coming back and giving back is something that everyone should do once they go off and do something successful.”
The eight students who displayed academic excellence were presented with scholarship checks that will go toward their college tuition and free tickets to Rolling Loud Miami in July. “It’s not a gift,” Cherif said. “They earned it.” Ross added: “You know, to come give back to the community right here, that means a lot. You know what I mean.”
At one point during the ceremony, a student was being honoured for her outstanding 4.6 GPA and Ross went the extra distance and gave her a few extra $100 bills straight out of his pocket and some motivational words of wisdom to go along with the cash for the brilliant teen.
“I was gonna cry,” another student, Teeshalee Chin, said. “I had to turn around because there was tears in my eyes. This is going to help me throughout this year and whatever money’s left to put up towards college.”
