$10,000 Up For Grabs For College Bloggers

If you’re a US citizen, a blogger, and are currently a full-time student an accredited college or university: listen up. CollegeScholarships.org, a directory of college scholarship and financial aid opportunities, today announced a $10,000 scholarship for college bloggers.

The Blogging Scholarship is the largest of the six scholarships offered by the site (they also offer a $2,000 award specifically for political blogging) and is open to any US citizen, student blogger, regardless of blog topic. If you don’t have a blog, site encourages students to begin now and submit your name for consideration by the deadline next month.

The site is accepting nominations (in the form a 300 word essay about why the blogger — which doesn’t have to be you — deserves the award) until October 6th. In keeping with the Internet theme of the scholarship, the winner will be chosen by an online vote during the month of October from among 10 finalists (determined by the founders of the site).

Last year, the award was $5,000 and went to DailyKos diarist, “MrLiberal,” a.k.a., Stephen Yellin of Drew University. The only rule, other than eligibility requirements and the ubiquitous call for no spam, is that “your blog must contain unique and interesting information about you and/or things you are passionate about,” according to the site. The winner of the scholarship will be announced at the end of October and awarded at the Blog World and New Media Expo in Las Vegas in November.
