Netflix and Howard University have established a US$5.4 million scholarship in honor of Chadwick Boseman, called The Chadwick A. Boseman Memorial Scholarship.

The full scholarship will cover four years of tuition at Howard's College of Fine Arts, which was renamed after Boseman earlier this year.

Boseman attended the school studying directing and earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2000.

This semester, one scholarship will be awarded to each class year.

After that, one incoming freshman will receive the scholarship annually. Students in the dramatic arts will be considered first.
