Diddy isn’t the only music star to get an honorary doctorate from an alma mater this year.

Singer/actress Jill Scott will be feted with a Doctor of Humane Letters on Thursday (May 15) from Temple University in her hometown of Philadelphia.

Scott studied secondary education at Temple before dropping out due to financial constraints.
