NEW YORK (AP) -- Alicia Keys is heading back to high school.
The Grammy-winning singer will visit the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan on Tuesday and donate music instruments to its students.
Keys says her alma mater is underfunded and oversubscribed, "and I hope to make this better for them."
She will also launch an online contest where people can share how they would use $1,000 "to make the world a better place." It is part of the global campaign, "World of Betters."
The contest begins Tuesday and ends Dec. 15.
