Nicki Minaj has announced the relaunch of her #StudentOfTheGame charity program while simultaneously pursuing her own college education. The initiative aims to help fans cover their college tuition and educational expenses.

The charity, first launched in 2017, began when Minaj spontaneously responded to fans seeking financial assistance for their education. In 2018, she formalized the program, directly paying educational institutions to cover students' tuition, books, and related costs.

As a graduate of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, Minaj has consistently advocated for education's importance. While she hasn't yet revealed her chosen college major, she plans to share more details about her academic journey soon.

The #StudentOfTheGame program works by having students tweet their financial needs using the designated hashtag, with Minaj personally selecting recipients. This direct approach ensures that funds reach educational institutions efficiently, providing immediate relief to struggling students.

Through this initiative, Minaj continues to demonstrate her commitment to education while helping fans overcome financial barriers to achieve their academic goals. The program's revival has generated significant excitement among her fanbase, known as the Barbz, who celebrate both her personal educational pursuit and her philanthropic efforts.
