Alicia Keys wants to help talented youngsters go to college, so the Grammy award winner is offering $5,000 scholarships to students from Atlanta and three other cities.

The four scholarship winners will be selected from Atlanta; Jacksonville, Florida; New Orleans and New York City’s Harlem neighborhood.

The Open Doors Scholars Program is part of Frum Tha Ground Up, a Jacksonville-based nonprofit organization started by Keys’ road manager, D.J. Walton, who went to college in Jacksonville.

In return for their scholarships, the winners will represent the organization at school appearances and must perform community service each semester.
