BeyGOOD’s total scholarship commitment during RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR will be one million dollars.
The world tour comes after Beyoncé returned to the stage with a grand performance in Dubai, her first concert in four years.
The musical icon took the stage to celebrate the opening of the new luxury hotel Atlantis The Royal, which managed to attract a bevy of international stars.
Despite the event’s high profile, the hitmaker attempted to handle publicity by banning recordings and forcing attendees to lock their phones prior to the show.
Still, a few intrepid attendees managed to keep their cameras clear and share videos of Beyoncé airing her hits, including Halo.
According to TMZ, she was reportedly paid $24 million for performing at the luxury resort for the invitation-only concert.
The concert in Dubai is Beyonce’s first live performance since she appeared in 2020 during a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.

There could be potential for more shows in the future, as Beyonce previously described the album as a “three-act project.”
In her note, she reiterated that the album’s creative process took three years and worked in detail during the pandemic, calling it a “time to be quiet, but also one that I found most creative”.
She continued, “Making this album gave me a place to dream and escape during a scary time for the world.
“It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving.
“My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment, a place to be free from perfectionism and overthinking.
‘A place to scream, to let go, to feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of discovery.’
Renaissance debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking the best-selling week by a female artist this year, and the second best-selling of the year.
It sold 332,000 equivalent album units in the week through August 4, Billboard reported, citing statistics from Luminate.
The album was the first by a female artist to top the Billboard 200 this year, as the last female artist to achieve the feat was Adele with her album 40 last December.
The record topped the chart for its first six weeks, from December 4, 2021 through January 8, 2022.
Renaissance is Beyonce’s first solo studio album since her seminal 2016 visual album Lemonade, in which she famously confronted the questions surrounding her marriage to Jay-Z and his fidelity.
Beyonce and Jay-Z have been married since 2008 and have welcomed three children into the world: Blue Ivy, 10, and twins Sir and Rumi, five.
Beyonce has released four albums since 2016’s Lemonade, though none of them were solo studio efforts.
In 2018, she dropped Everything Is Love, with Jay-Z under the moniker The Carters.
In April 2019, she released Homecoming, an album that accompanied her 2018 headlining performance at Coachella.
She followed that summer with The Lion King: The Gift, a companion album to the Disney movie featuring several new Beyonce songs (a deluxe edition of that album with three additional songs was released a year later).
