A Hampton University Student recently found herself struggling with tuition and possibly entertaining the fact that she might not be able to attend school in the fall. The struggle for students is definitely real, as this girl can tell you firsthand. Luckily, she happened to makes moves at the right time. Wale definitely deserves some credit for this one. Check out how she got hooked up from Wale after the jump.

From Hampton U News:

“The moment of a lifetime arrived after Hampton University sophomore psychology major and Gloucester resident Lauren Pryor, won a $25,000 scholarship from rapper Wale. In a challenge presented on June 18 from Norfolk hip-hop station 103 JAMZ, Pryor was the 25th caller and the winner.

“I was on my way to a friend’s home in Hampton when I heard the radio challenge that the 25th caller would win the prize,” said Pryor. “The station said to call between 4 and 5 p.m. I called four or five times. The line was always busy. On about the 14th 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,” Pryor said in an article in the Gloucester-Mathews Gazette-Journal.

Pryor spent a glitz-filled two days, June 23-24, with all the VIP amenities anyone could ask for in New York City.

“Winning this scholarship was truly a blessing,” said Pryor. “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.”

Pryor received the scholarship award at the album release party and concert for Wale’s new album, “The Gifted” at the Best Buy Theater.”
