Rick Ross is giving back to the community in a major way. The superstar rapper, who also owns several franchises of Wingstop, has teamed up with the Wingstop Foundation to launch a scholarship program. The program  will benefit young scholars in urban areas and Winston employees. In addition to providing scholarships to those individuals, the program will provide grants to mentoring and educational groups to help keep kids in school. The program is expected to launch later this year.

Rick Ross told Bossip, “To me, a company as huge as Wingstop, we’ve seen so much success doing what we’re doing, let’s take it to the next level. Let’s make ourselves that much more a part of the community…We see the drop out rates. We know what’s going on. So what’s the biggest thing that we could do? Wingstop as a company came together and put together an urban scholarship that’s for the underprivileged, that’s educationally based. That’s me talking to my audience. We need to hear this, and we need to bring all these ideas and concepts to the table and start as soon as possible.”

Thanks to Rick Ross and Wingstop, hundreds of students will be able to make college a reality.
