PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Underprivileged students will get an education opportunity thanks to a trio with local roots.



Rapper Meek Mill, comedian Kevin Hart and 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin teamed up to donate $15 million to 110 Philadelphia-area private and parochial schools.



The money will allow children from underserved families to attend these schools for the 2022-2023 academic year.





The trio says the donation is the latest in Mill's and Rubin's ongoing commitment to the community.



In 2020, the rapper and 76ers partner created a $2 million scholarship fund to help Philadelphia students and provide critical resources during the pandemic.
