Happen to be a woman pursuing a career in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics? You can now earn a scholarship from a somewhat unlikely source: Pornhub. And no, you don't have to take off your clothes.

The porn site on Thursday launched its second-annual Pornhub Cares contest, offering a $25,000 scholarship to one woman pursuing a STEM-related career.

"We recognize that women are vastly underrepresented in tech-related fields and want to do our part to change that," Pornhub Vice President Corey Price said in a statement. "As scientific and technological innovations continue to shape our everyday lives, it's especially important to cultivate STEM knowledge and skills. With our scholarship this year we are hoping to empower the next generation of female innovators."

The contest officially kicked off today, and runs through Nov. 30; the winner will be announced by the end of December. Entrants are required to submit an essay between 1,000 and 1,500 words answering the following question: How are you working towards making the world a better place?

Applicants may also include a video clip between two and five minutes further illustrating their response, though this part is optional. All applications must come with a resume and official academic transcript. For more details, head over to the contest landing page.

The winner will be selected by "an esteemed panel of Pornhub judges," the site said. "Each entry will be assessed based on a number of criteria including inherent traits such as leadership and creativity, alongside more tangible accomplishments such as extracurricular activities and dedication to community service efforts."

Last year, Pornhub awarded to scholarship to San Antonio, Texas native MaryAnn Uribe, who is currently attending school at Troy University in Alabama.
