"MaryAnn Uribe has had a rough few years. In 2014, for instance, her former employer allegedly tried to have her killed. But, thanks to a purveyor of Internet pornography, things are looking up for the 48-year-old mother of two in San Antonio, Texas. Uribe has been announced as the recipient of a $25,000 college scholarship courtesy of PornHub, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Uribe, who holds an associate degree, will now pursue a bachelor's in political science. "I busted out crying," Uribe tells the newspaper. PornHub launched its controversial scholarship contest earlier this year. Hopefuls had to be at least 18, have a 3.2 GPA or higher, and submit an essay and video answering the question, "How do you strive to make others happy?"
