DJ Khaled has made use of positive influence to make a difference in the lives of thousands of students through non-profit organization Get Schooled. Aside from providing a wide-range of support for low-income students, the organization also motivates students to complete their education up to college. It has become popular to young people because it engages them using technology.
Get Schooled has coordinated with DJ Khaled to come up with various student events including a Q&A with Professor Anita Elberse of Harvard Business School. DJ Khaled, who is the organization's national spokesperson, hosted his College tour campaign for Get Schooled Snapchat at Harvard University. A special feature of last month's tour is the assistance Khaled provided to incoming college students in the completion of their application forms.
The groundbreaking initiative of Get Schooled makes use of Snapchat as a tool to help students experience college in a more accessible way, as per Ed News Daily. A survey by Get Schooled showed that one out of five seniors who plan to attend college has never been on a college campus. Khaled's expertise in social media is expected to give millions of high schools students in the United States a chance to experience the college campuses in a more personal manner.
"By harnessing DJ Khaled's expertise and the Snapchat platform, we are able to connect more young people with the support they need to make college a reality," Get Schooled Executive Director Marie Groark said.
