Tyla to Launch THE A*POP WORLD TOUR With That Girl Music Scholarship

Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Tyla has announced her That Girl Music Scholarship. Named for the empowered single from her just-released album A*POP, the scholarship will be awarded to 10 female students pursuing music degrees at colleges and universities near select stops on her upcoming tour.

The Tyla That Girl Music Scholarship is the result of a partnership between Sony Music and the International Institute for Education aimed at helping aspiring artists take the next step toward a successful future in music. The $5,000 award will go to 10 students who demonstrate both financial need and academic excellence. Recipients will be chosen from eligible schools within the specified markets, with priority given to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The relevant stops along THE A*POP WORLD TOUR include New York City, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles. One recipient will be chosen from each U.S. location, while four recipients will be chosen from Tyla's native South Africa. The scholarship recipients will also be offered an exclusive tour experience, including concert tickets and a meet-and-greet with the star herself.

Applicants must be full-time undergraduate students enrolled at the time of the local concert, pursuing a music and arts-related majors, and are expected to submit a one-page personal statement, a 30-second video, a school transcript, and proof of financial need. Details are available at iie.org/tyla-thatgirl.

This scholarship follows a busy year for Tyla. In July, she released her second studio album A*POP. The set features her ongoing international smash 'CHANEL,' the sweltering summer anthem 'IS IT,' smoldering Zara Larsson collaboration 'SHE DID IT AGAIN,' and 'THAT GIRL.' The record has already won critical and commercial accolades, debuting at #1 on the Billboard World Albums chart and earning praise from outlets like Pitchfork, who called her a 'sexy, infectious, fun new voice' in the pop mainstream.

With the That Girl Music Scholarship, Tyla shifts the spotlight to her fans. Ticketing information for THE A*POP WORLD TOUR is available at tylaworld.com. Scholarship markets are marked in bold in the itinerary below.

About Tyla

Two-time GRAMMY winner Tyla has ascended to global superstar status. With A*POP, she presents a project rooted in where she's from: a country that has always spoken in more than one musical language, revealing her range as both an African artist and a global pop star.

Tyla's journey got off to a historic beginning in 2024, when she won her first GRAMMY Award, and made Billboard chart history with the three-time RIAA Platinum smash hit 'WATER,' alongside the release of her debut albums, TYLA and TYLA+. The set produced another Hot 100 and GRAMMY-winning hit, 'PUSH 2 START,' and sent seven songs to the U.S. Afrobeats chart, including two no. 1s. The campaign made Tyla the highest-charting African female soloist on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. With her second album, A*POP, Tyla picked up where she left off. 'CHANEL,' the album's lead single, topped the U.S. Afrobeats chart and earned over 150 million video views, while her follow-up effort, the Zara Larsson-assisted 'SHE DID IT AGAIN,' became a disruptive cultural moment. 'IS IT LOVE?,' the album's third single, earned Tyla her record fourth no. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats chart. A*POP is available now.
