Of course you do. Would you believe there is now a thousand dollar scholarship for students who blog? And you can nominate yourself?

Random Quote
The statement that Thomas Jefferson meant his "wall of separation" to be "one-directional," only to protect the church from incursions by the state "is an example of one of the Religious Right's more blatant lies. It is impossible to determine where this myth originated, but we do know that it began appearing with increasing frequency in the early 1990s. The phrase 'one-directional' often appears in quotation marks to make it appear as if it were lifted from a letter or personal writing of Jefferson's. "Of course, Jefferson said no such thing about his 'wall,' as any of his biographers or church-state historians will readily testify. Jefferson's writings indicate beyond a doubt that he believed separation would protect both church and state.

Is there a real reason why like so many other contests, this one is only open to US citizens?
Posted by: Keith Douglas | October 26, 2006 1:48 PM
Alon Levy: As a Canadian who has often read about US contests only to be disappointed, I have investigated the matter somewhat. The gist is that laws for contests vary. That said, it looks like the rules have changed ...
Posted by: RavenT | October 26, 2006 3:09 PM
Well, this is not a contest, and there's no money in it, but on the positive side, it's not open only to US residents. And recent threads have shown PZ has lots of readers in the UK, so maybe this email announcement I received today will be of interest to someone here.
(if he were looking in my part of the world, I'd propose a sound recording of "Siamangs in Seattle"...)

Too bad my GPA is too low.

I don't suppose I could use it to pay for blacksmithing school...

We have made this scholarship available to any student who goes to college in the U.S. We see no reason not to do so.
Also, we have upped the prize money and made it an annual award of $5000.

Oh, that's not my complaint. My complaint is that it excludes students who aren't US citizens. There are plenty of foreign students in the US, as well as people who grew up in the US and are for all intents and purposes Americans except that they have no citizenship.
Posted by: Kristjan Wager | October 27, 2006 5:08 AM
Alon, foreign students don't seem to be excluded any more - now you just have to study at an US college.

Finally got to it and nominated a couple of good science blogs written by undergrads.
