Blogging can pay off

Category: College

Are you a college student? Have you been blogging during the past year? Then you definitely want to check out the 3rd annual Blogging Scholarship. The grand prize is $10,000 for tuition, books, and all the other stuff you need to continue your education. (There are two $1,000 runner-up prizes, too.)

I've already put my entry in, although I am not at all optimistic about my chances. I encourage anyone who blogs and could use some help funding their education to submit an entry, and good luck to all those who enter!

Is there a scholarship for people who finished college but still haven't figured out what they're doing with their lives? 'Cause I'd totally submit an entry to that.

I'm still looking for the "My college experienced was terrible so give me some money for independent research" scholarship. Once I've found that, I'll help you look for a scholarship that will help you out, Blake.

Oh, I'm definitely up for that. But I wish they'd posted some details on rules and regulations for entries (like, "If I enter this and apply for that big NSF fellowship, am I screwing myself over with either money source?") Reading the NSF rules on that has not clarified it, either.
