A Blogging Scholarship

An organization called College Scholarships is offering a $10,000 scholarship this year for a college student who blogs about “unique and interesting information about you and/or things you are passionate about.” We’re not shilling for a nomination here, but perhaps you know an aspiring blogger somewhere who could use the extra cash.

This contest raises an interesting question: are there any college students out there who support their education through blogging? It’s not a far stretch from working part-time (or full-time) to help pay the bills, but blogging seems like an unlikely way to earn enough money to buy books, let alone pay tuition.

    Here at UAE University, we have some avid bloggers/writers. Could you send me details of the College Scholarship on offer?
    Thanks
