Seeing Jay Z and Beyoncé is always exciting.

Being awarded a $100,000 scholarship from America’s favorite power couple through the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Phoenix at the concert?

That’s a whole other level of excitement.

Mikayla Lowry had no idea going into Wednesday’s co-headlining Jay-Z and Beyonce show at State Farm Stadium that she had won a college scholarship from the Shawn Carter Foundation and the BeyGOOD Initiative, which is awarded to one exceptional high school senior with financial needs.

In fact, she didn’t even know that she’d been nominated.

All Lowry, a senior at Trevor Browne High School, knew going in was that she was one of 19 Club kids, including 12 Youth of the Year honorees, attending the concert for free.

DJ Khaled broke the news at the end of his opening set, prefacing the news with, “This is, like, the best part of the night” and calling Lowry “an extraordinary individual making a difference in the world.”

He also called her “one of our young geniuses.”

Jay-Z and Beyonce have partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs around the nation to select the winners, awarding a total of more than $1 million in scholarships in 11 cities as the On the Run II Tour makes it way across the country.

Lowry has been a Boys & Girls Club kid for more than 10 years at the Spencer D. & Mary Jane Stewart Branch in Phoenix.

The teen is dual-enrolled at Estrella Mountain Community College and will graduate this year with her completed Associates degree.

She hopes to pursue a degree in marine biology or forensics at GCU or Northern Arizona University, at which point she’ll become the first in her family to attend college.

In addition to being an outstanding student with a 3.7 GPA, Lowry has volunteered many hours with BGCMP’s Better to Give program, serving in soup kitchens and shelters. She was also the BGCMP’s Torch Club President and Keystone Vice President.

In an interview one day after the concert with Live 1015, Lowry said, "At first we were all looking at each other like, 'Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?' Then, when they started getting more in detail, I was like 'Oh, that's me.'"

In that same interview, Lowry was asked where she plans on going to college and she said, "When I was a sophomore, I really wanted to go to UCLA, so I think that's an option," pausing for a moment before adding "now."

Lowry’s mother relies on the Club to care for her three children as she works to make ends meet with two jobs, allowing her to prioritize school and academics for her kids.

The children lost their father following a struggle with alcoholism and lost three grandparents in the last few years, leaving their mother to rely on the Boys & Girls Club for after-school care.

Lowry has earned excellent marks in high school but college tuition would likely have been out of reach.

This is the largest scholarship a member of the local Boys & Girls Club has ever earned.

Last year, Beyonce launched the Formation Scholars Award to help female students afford a college education.

In April, the singer's BeyGood Initiative gave a total of $100,000 to four Historically Black Colleges and Universities students through Beyoncé's Homecoming Scholars Program. She later partnered with Google to give $25,000 scholarships to four more students.

Jay-Z has also established a scholarship fund to help students with tuition and other living expenses.
