Win a $2,000 blogging scholarship

SPENDonLIFE.com is sponsoring a $2,000 blogging scholarship for student bloggers. The importance of credit and protecting yourself from identity theft is something that should be important to all students, but is often forgotten in the midst of studying, partying and working.

To enter the blogging scholarship, you simply have to have a blog (an ongoing one or you can create one) and write a post about credit or identity theft. The requirements are very simple and straightforward. As long as you stick to the topic, you can write anything you want. How it has personally affected you, how to protect yourself, or even how you find it scary that nearly every company you do business with has a database full of information on you. You have to be 18 years old and a full or part-time student at an accredited university. The deadline is December 1st and the winner gets paid on January 1, 2009.

For more information about this $2,000 blogging scholarship sponsored by SPENDonLIFE.com, you can visit their website. SPENDonLIFE is a member of the National Scholarship Providers Association so you know this is a legitimate scholarship. SPENDonLIFE also offers ten scholarships per year for students who have been denied loans because of bad credit.

    This is very true. People aren’t aware of how easily identity theft could happen and that it could never happen to them. This is a really good opportunity to teach our kids to be more careful.

    I think this is a great opportunity! Especially when you can blog from from places like your phone (motorola.com/krave). Phones like the Krave make it easy to keep your page current with it’s clear top that’s touchsensitive!

    Hi Syd! Long time no see.

    I stopped in here because I need to go back to school.. but I just have no idea where to start. I suppose I could go to a community college for a while, but I don’t know how or where to find financial help…

    Do you have any info on where to start for someone who wants to further their education 10 years after graduating?
