Nas has just been awarded with his very own scholarship courtesy of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard University. The Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship will be awarded to those who show academic excellence and creatively show that "Education is power."
Nas spoke on the scholarship saying, “My hopes are that greed for knowledge, art, self-determination and expression go a long way,” he said. “It is a true honor to have my name attached to so much hard work, alongside great names like Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and W.E.B. Du Bois and to such a prestigious and historical institution, and all in the name of the music I grew to be a part of.”
