Hampton University Sophomore, Lauren Pryor accepting her scholarship reward.

One Hampton University student got the opportunity of a lifetime when she received a $25,000 scholarship from rapper and Washington D.C. native Wale.
Sophomore psychology major Lauren Pryor won the rapper’s scholarship through a local Norfolk hip-hop radio station, 103 JAMZ, on June 18th.
Pryor then had the opportunity to be flown to New York City on June 23-24 to receive her scholarship at Wale’s The Gifted album release party held in the Best Buy Theater.
The HBCU’s blog reported that the female student was on the brink of not returning to the university due to financial hardship.
Pryor said that winning the scholarship was “a blessing”.
