will.i.am sends kids to school

The Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am (34) has sent four kids to college with his i.am.scholarship fund, which covers not only four years’ tuition fees, but room and board and books. According to America’s People magazine, Will.i.am came up with the idea after realising the DJ fee he’d earned in one night could give three kids the shot at higher education he never got himself. “It's one thing to make it – and you've got your own apartment, or house, or car – and you keep it for you. That's not making it. Making it is spreading it,” he told the magazine.
