The 'Work' singer is offering scholarships of up to $50,000 for students on a need basis through her Clara Lionel Foundation.

She told USA Today: "To be able to give the gift of an education is actually an honour.

"Higher education will help provide perspective, opportunities, and learning to a group of kids who really deserve it. I am thrilled to be able to do this."

Students have a chance of receiving $5,000 to $50,000 of financial support towards their studying for a four-year course in a college based in the Untied States.

Unfortunately Aussies aren't eligible for the bursary and applicants must live in either the United States, Barbados, Cuba, Brazil, Jamaica, Guyana or Haiti.

The fate of the top 50 will be decided by a committee, who are looking for "academic performance, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience and a personal essay".
