Nicki Minaj has pulled through on her promise to pay tuition or student loans for a select number of fans and the rap titan announced the list of winners on Friday (June 29).
Head over to her official website and you'll notice that the Young Money MC has unveiled the lucky 37 students. "Winners will receive a direct message on Twitter," the post on her website reads. "Please provide us with contact information at that time. All money will be paid directly to the school or lender after verification is final." Scroll on below to see some of the winners' reactions to the big unveil!
This isn't the first time that the 35-year-old chart-topper has paid it forward when it comes to education. Last May, she spontaneously decided to pay tuition to some of her social media followers who had good grades. Additionally, Minaj announced that she's holding another contest for fans to listen to her upcoming album, Queen, ahead of its release on August 10. Unfortunately, winners of the "Student Of The Game" fund are ineligible for the contest.
