			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came through this website while doing an online research for school this early morning, but since I had to rush to classes I just bookmarked it to be able to blog about it later :) Now I&#8217;m back home and I can finally dedicate some words to it. So&#8230; this contest is an initiative of the organization known as <strong>SPENDonLIFE</strong>, and it is willing to give out <a rel="nofollow" href="http://students.spendonlife.com/blogging-scholarship" target="_blank">$2000 scholarship</a> to the winner student who shall post a <em>blog entry</em> about the influence of credit on people&#8217;s (and students&#8217;) lives. It is very simple and every student who&#8217;s at least 18, attending college or university and with a spam-less blog can partecipate. Deadline of the contest is December 1st of 2008.</p>
<p>Sometimes contests like these make me think that gladly there&#8217;s still someone out there who gives value to students&#8217; blogging, and is willing to help them financially with their scholarships, that many people in not-so-happy financial conditions know how hard to maintain they are. I know the winner of this contest is going to be only one, but I&#8217;m convinced that even students who don&#8217;t win will feel happy to have at least taken part of it. The subject of the contest pushes your <em>brain</em> to work and to reflect on life, and the fact itself that your blog was directly interested would make you proud to be a blogger. Blogging is much more than a useless free time activity for young people :) It&#8217;s actually more powerful than we ever thought.</p>
