Wale recently helped a Hampton University student by “gifting” her with a $25,000 scholarship, according to thejasminebrand.com. Lauren Pryor, a sophomore Psychology student, won the Wale “The Gifted” Scholarship by calling into Norfolk, Virginia Hip Hop station 103 JAMZ.
“I was on my way to a friend’s home in Hampton when I heard the radio challenge that the twenty-fifth caller would win the prize,” Pryor said to the Gloucester-Mathews Gazette-Journal, as per thejasminebrand.com. “The station said to call between 4 and 5 pm. I called four or five times. The line was always busy. On about the fourteenth call I told myself to give it a rest then, I heard a man say, ‘Hello.’ I didn’t believe it. He told me there were millions of calls and he only picked up the phone 14 times nationwide.”
Wale attended Robert Morris College and Virginia State University on football scholarships before transferring to a third school, Bowie State, prior to his rap career.
Pryor received the scholarship at the album release party and concert for Wale’s The Gifted. Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, The Gifted is Wale’s third studio album and the second to come out while signed to Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group.
“Winning this scholarship was truly a blessing,” Pryor says. “Almost not returning to Hampton University in the fall because of expenses, I was exceedingly fortunate to receive this scholarship. It was truly a test of faith.”

That money will be spent on a new car.
too bad a psychology degree is a waste of time..
This. If she wants to be a REAL Psychologist, then she should’ve focused getting into med school, not getting a worthless, easy-to-achieve degree meant for future college professors and suckering people into wasting their money. Common mistake much of these college students keep making these days.
This woman just might spent it on dumb shit like fancy clothes and purses as well. And while I respect Wale for his generosity, I highly recommend that he holds on to his money anyway because the money just might stop rolling in soon. And it doesn’t look like he’ll be in the game for long. So, that’s my suggestion.
Wale will be good for years with his handful of songs and core fan base. Why you gotta shit on the girl though? That was some real hater shit.
How do u know she doesnt want to go into counseling. My cousin makes over $90 per hour as counselor for people with depression. real talk

Nice work Wale, I like this guy he makes good music and he seems like a chill dude, I respect that.
Too bad she working for a worthless degree. Medical or engineering school is best, my opinion.

What a fucking idiot.
She hot but im surprised wale has 25k to give away

Wales is being very generous yet you all give him crap. Lil Wayne also awards scholarships.
Isn’t college (university) free in the UK? Why would they need to give out schola…oh, I see, you meant Wale, not Wales. Get your shit together, DX.
University isn’t free in the UK anyway.
IT AIN’T FREE IN UK. MAYBE IN SCOTLAND IT IS BUT NOT IN ALL OF UK.
WHO DA FUCK IS WALES DX
Why is she gonna go to college? She can make 25.000, in a day with me selling heroin. Fuck Wales!
THE WORLDWIDE LACK OF EDUCATION KEEPS THIS SITE ALIVE

i officially nominate wale a stand-up guy
good guy wale
thirsty ass nicca probably made her sleep with him for that check
15th caller gets 25k? what a weak ass way to give out a scholarship! make them write a fucking essay or something showing why they deserve or need that money.
One is just as subjective as the other…
hatin ass niggas
Dickridin ass nigga
he cant get any bitches so he gotta give out scholarships just to get a phone number. local ass rapper wishes he was drake
Nice dude. Wish more people with (enough) money acted this way!
The check bounced
I think “Local Rapper Gives Bitch A $25,000 Scholarship” would be a more appropriate title.
Or not….that was a horrible joke
Ain’t no jokes, B.
see all the bullshit he has to endure because he helped someone further their dream! pathetic man
i guarantee you she didnt even buy his album LMAO!!!
I hope she didn’t cause that album’s wack as fuck
Why couldnt she be white? Fucking racist mmg rappers
Ain’t never heard of no white person calling a rap radio station to get a fucking scholarship
LMAO i aint never heard of anyone being the 15th caller to a radio station and getting a scholarship
but you just read it
I’d Stick my dick in her cheekbone
LOL AT ALL BITCH ASS NIGGAS HATIN. HOW MANY “LOCAL NIGGAS” PUSH MORE THAN 150K IN THEIR FIRST WEEKS? WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO THE ALBUM ONE MORE TIME, IT’S WALE’S BEST EFFORT SINCE THE BEGINNING (MAYBE SOME OF HIS MIXTAPE WERE BETTER BUT DEFINITELY NOT ALBUMS), HE WAS “LOCAL RAPPER” 5 YEARS AGO.
AND THIS ARTICLE AND SCHOLARSHIP JUST SHOWS THAT WALE AIN’T NO IGNORANT AND HE CARES ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.
if he really cared he would have gave the money (which i bet you didnt even come from his pockets) to someone who truly deserved it and not the 15th fucking caller
it ain’t your money so why they gotta follow your rules?
its the labels money
ross skipped dinner for the night so this lil girl could get an education, BAWSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
lmao damn that’s one expensive meal
So many haters on this site. Dude gives away a scholarship to a Black student and you losers are hating lol. Good look Wale — wish more artists would do this kind of thing.
