Scholarships For College Students From Porn Hub

How would you feel about getting a $25,000 college education scholarship from a porn website? Well, here are some bizarre (or exciting news for those who do not mind a porn website scholarship).

The adult video website is offering a $25,000 scholarship to a legal age college student who likes making others happy.

The rules are quite simple. Applicants need a 3.2 GPA, an essay answering the question “How do you strive to make others happy?” and a five-minute video that “elaborates on the good work you do and anything else you might want to say.

I know what you are thinking but hey get your mind out of the gutter. While the website features porn, those seeking a future career with the company need not apply. That is right. The website is simply judging applicants for their minds and hearts.

According to Porn hub Vice President Corey Price, they will not seriously consider anyone who includes explicit material in the video. “We are not looking for that whatsoever. I want to make that abundantly clear.”

Price said that they decided to offer the scholarship in honor of its newly launched charity; Porn Hub Cares after finding out that most of its viewers are between the ages 18 to 25. The site saw this as a way to give directly back to the millennial community.

Price stated that “Porn Hub Cares is a compilation of Porn Hub’s past, present and future philanthropic initiatives.” “The Porn Hub Cares Scholarship aligns with our trajectory here at Porn Hub, which is firmly set on providing happiness and opportunity through the worldwide community we have established. It is about giving back and offering our fans a life changing experience/opportunity.”

Charity has proven to be a way to reach disillusioned millennial. A survey by online publication Elite Daily and consulting firm Millennial Branding showed three-fourths of the age group said it was “either fairly or very important that a company gives back to society instead of just making a profit.” Companies ranging from Unilever to Patagonia are dedicating their resources towards non-profit initiatives.

While the scholarship is new, this is not the first time Porn hub has engaged in philanthropic activities. It filmed a PSA called “Save the Balls” in April, which coincided with Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, as well as offered a donation incentive to those who watched breast-themed clips during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 2012.

Sure, all the names of the campaigns were double entendres, but the company said its intentions were pure. It ended up donating $75,000 during the “Save the Boobs” campaign to cancer charities and research organizations.

Not everyone is a fan of Porn hub’s charitable efforts. The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) said in a statement that the scholarship was a “blatant attempt to exploit economically vulnerable young people” and get the mainstream to accept the porn industry.

“If Porn hub truly cared about disadvantaged youth, they could give away scholarship money without exploiting thousands of teenagers,” said NCOSE Executive Director Dawn Hawkins said in an emailed statement.

“Porn hub is clearly using this so-called scholarship opportunity to fuel their industry, where the number 1 search term in porn is ‘teen.’ While the application rules for this scholarship do not specifically prescribe that the video submission be pornographic, the fact that applicants must be 18 years of age makes Porn hub’s motives quite obvious. This company is built upon a legacy of exploitation, and it is no more charitable in mind than a tobacco company that offers a scholarship to whichever teen can smoke the most of its brand-name cigarettes.”

Despite the backlash, Price said that the company is welcoming all applicants, regardless if they are a human sexuality major or are leaning towards mechanical engineering.

“Come one, come all,” he said. “We are open to all applicants, regardless of major.”
