Travis Scott has created a scholarship for young designers In partnership with the Parsons School of Design

On the occasion of the third anniversary of Travis Scott Day in Houston, Travis Scott presented a new project of the Cactus Jack Foundation to support the educational path of his young fellow citizens. The main initiative concerns The New School's Parsons School of Design – which will bring the courses of the prestigious New York academy to Houston through the non-profit My Brother's Keeper. The partnership aims to bring fashion education to historically under-represented categories in creative disciplines. 

But the initiative also includes the HBCU Waymon Webster Scholarship Program, named after Scott's grandfather, and will cover the university expenses of a number of students selected by Scott at several Texas universities historically linked to the black community, and also a partnership with the city of Houston that will lead to the opening of a program dedicated to teaching agriculture and nutrition to elementary school students called Cactus Jack Gardens
