Following the successful launch of Flamin' Hot University in September, this event aims to celebrate the achievements of the deserving students who have been granted scholarships from the fund.
Tina Mahal, senior vice president of marketing at Frito-Lay said ""Everyone deserves to be their Flamin' Hot self, but student loans can create a significant burden on college graduates – especially at HBCUs where students graduate with 19% more debt than those at non-HBCUs1,The Flamin' Hot University scholarship fund at TSU was designed to ease some of the financial pressures student loans bring, so graduates can focus on unleashing their hottest potential."
Megan was accompanied by the Ocean of Soul band, adding to the excitement and energy of the occasion. Megan also engaged in a fireside chat with TSU's Tracy Clemons.

The Flamin' Hot scholarship fund was established earlier this year with the intention of providing financial assistance to graduating seniors at TSU. The fund seeks to help these students start their post-graduation journey on the right foot.
