Nelly’s energy drink Pimp Juice has created the P.I.M.P Scholars Program, which will provide financial assistance to eligible college students.

According to the company, P.I.M.P is an acronym for Positive Intellectual Motivated Person. The scholarship, which is competitive, will award two applicants, one male and one female, with a $5,000 award.

The P.I.M.P Scholarship is not limited to academics. Applicants stand a better chance of winning the scholarship if they are involved in leadership roles in extracurricular activities of all genres.

The top twenty-five applicants will be contacted and asked for an official college transcript and a letter of recommendation from a leader in their respective communities.

Deadline for submission is December 29, 2004 and the Scholarships will be awarded in January of 2005.

A scholarship with the acronym of 'pimp'? Ha... genius!!! We need the scholarhip for the Dedicated and United Members Board of Administrative and Scholastic Studies scholarship... or DUMBASS for short...

Extra activities, eh? Would rapping or being an ice cold 'playa' fall under that or are there guidelines?

I'm guessing leaders like this one:

By the looks of it, yeah... and with me being a minority, I for one am embarassed that people are even considering this as a real venture... I mean, make a scholarship, but don't seriously sit up there and think the name for it flies easy with me... it's an insult... it's almost as if to say '[they] think of themselves as pimps, so let's give them their due...' yeesh... :?

And lord just think of it during senior assembly... 'Let's give a hand for Mr. Anthony Jones, who has received a full P.I.M.P. scholarship...' :x somewhere, a parent is crying themselves to sleep...

Is it just me or this whole Pimp Culture thing is pretty stupid.

Rap music needs some new role models.
