This semester we're asking students to write about how they plan to positively impact their community and nation
upon graduation. The whole point of a blogging scholarship is to create discussion in the blogosphere. By sharing
your post, others will be able to comment and ponder your thoughts. While it's not required, we find that the best
posts are the ones that get the most comments/shares.

Scholarships available: 1 at each deadline
Mission: Sussle collects the best content by topic. This is not your usual scholarship. There is no application or
essay, and it's actually fun. By participating, you will be posting your knowledge for the benefit of others, and in
return, the best contributor will win the scholarship.
