Rihanna named Harvard's Humanitarian of the Year

Rihanna keeps winning all around!

After just landing her 30th top 10 hit on the Billboard 100, the singer is being honored yet again. This time as the 2017 Harvard University Humanitarian of the Year.

She will be receiving her award Feb. 28 at the Boston university itself.

"Rihanna has charitably built a state-of-the-art center for oncology and nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat breast cancer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados,” said the Harvard Foundation’s director, S. Allen Counter, according to Billboard.

This achievement comes for something much bigger than her music. In fact it's bigger than any of her accomplishments as a singer, designer and actress.

This honor came from her work with her Clara and Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program.

Along with her work in promoting education, she has also helped aid Caribbean college students who have come to the United States to attend schools here.

Her good deeds don't stop there though. She has also supported of both the Global Partnership for Education and the Global Citizen project.
