Lenovo is calling on all undergraduate and graduate students who are entering or attending an accredited college or university to blog for the chance to win a $20,000 scholarship. Other prizes will include a $1,000 gift card to their on-campus bookstore, as well as Lenovo laptops and Netbooks.
The University of Bloggers Back to School Program was spearheaded by the Lenovo Department of World Wide Education. To enter, students must pick a goal, go to LenovoBlogU.com and start a blog about it with consistent updates on their progression to success. All blogs will be monitored and judged based upon their creativity, popularity and activity (amount of updates). The 10 finalists to make the Dean’s List will be chosen on September 30, 2010 and the Grand Prize winner will be announced on October 10th, 2010.
Lenovo Director of Worldwide Education, Gus Schmedlen explains, “Whether your goal is to learn how to cook or travel cross country, we want to read why you chose to accomplish this goal and the steps you took to achieve it. In a sense, we want to take the journey with you.”
