Nuggets.com writes, "Denver Nuggets superstar guard Allen Iverson has again used his celebrity to bridge the gap between the world of sports and the communities in which our revered athletes hail. Last summer at Allen's annual charity event, The Allen Iverson Celebrity Summer Classic, Crossover Promotions established the Allen Iverson Student Athlete Scholarship Program. This week, as the CIAA tournament begins, Allen and Crossover Promotions, Inc. are adding a second school to the initiative, Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Allen Iverson Endowed Scholarship will be awarded in March and April of each year for the upcoming academic year. Students are required to have a 2.75 Grade Point Average in order to qualify for this award. Last year, a similar award was given to St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina. Allen Iverson and his personal manager Gary Moore are ecstatic about the opportunity to contribute to the success of future student athletes."
