ScholarshipPoints just announced the most recent $10,000 college scholarship recipient.  Not sure if you know of the ScholarshipPoints program, but you should.  In short - it is a college student membership rewards program where students earn points for completing certain online activities (take a survey, read a blog post, visit a website).  Students accumulate points which can be converted into entries for that month's scholarship sweepstakes. 

ScholarshipPoints will give away more than $110,000 this year and likely even more next year.  The beauty if it is that the more students who join, the more scholarship are given away...

If you have not allready, tell your students, family and friends to sign up at:
