Actually, it’s even better than this as I’m talking about 3 different scholarships:
- The 2009 Edu Blogger Scholarship worth US $1,500
- 2 Lucky Edu Blogger Scholarships worth US $500 each
Do I have your attention now?
Hopefully, I do.
With 4 years of higher ed blogging under my belt, I know how demanding (and most of the time financially little rewarding) it can be to maintain a great edu blog. That’s one of the reasons I came up with the “Edu Blogger Scholarship Contest” idea when I was contacted (and hired) by the folks from Online College to help them create some online buzz around their new website about online education.
It’s free to participate, and you will have 3 chances to win something out of this contest created by an edu blogger for edu bloggers (and in case you’re wondering — I know we, edu bloggers, can be a very cautious bunch — the scholarship money is real and already sitting in my PayPal account waiting for the winners). Stewart Foss from eduStyle, Matt Herzberger from Blog High Ed and yours truly will be the judges of this contest (and have all kissed goodbye the opportunity to win the scholarships ;-)
So, please make sure you register and spread the word (or some #edubloggerlove as I’ve been teasing my Twitter followers for a few days now) about this opportunity accessible to any edu blogger.
The contest opens today and you can submit your entry until March 17, 2009. You’ll find all the rules, the online form and everything you want to know about the contest on the Edu Blogger Scholarship Contest

[…] As I’ve explained on this blog a few weeks ago, I’m managing this contest targeted to edu bloggers. It’s open to the “usual suspects” of the higher ed blogosphere (you know who you are – and if you aren’t registered yet, hope you’ll do it before the deadline next Tuesday), but also to any of the bloggers writing for your institution.
