A spokesperson for the Wyclef Jean Foundation told MTV News that they haven't yet determined how much money was raised at Saturday's show at Bayfront Park Amphitheater, but some of the cash will be used to set up a scholarship fund at Florida International University in Miami. The foundation says that there's been no decision on what Haitian organizations will actually receive funding, but Wyclef himself is said to make

a decision later this week. We'll keep you posted.

Wyclef Jean & the Refugee Allstars, along with Jamiroquai and Our Lady Peace, have also been added to the long list of artists slated to appear at Woodstock '99, set for the weekend of July 23 in Rome, New York. Tickets for that event go on sale this Sunday.
