Understand ProgressiveU

So for the last 3 days, I have been applying for every single scholarship that I am eligible for. Ever since I found out, that this will be the SECOND school year that I was not eligible for Financial Aid, I've been pushing really hard with these scholarships. I've already wrote TONS of essays, and answered HUNDREDS of questions. I staggered on this scholarship award, blogging for money? Seems pretty interesting!

Anyways, I've having a hard time understandthing this website. If someone can just lay down the basics for me. Blog entry/Classified Ads/Comment/Forum Topic.. okay what are all those? And how do I enter the scholarship for blogging? Am I automatically entered when I registered for an account? And when I click on "My Account" is that the actual profile that is viewable to the public? Because everytime I click on it, the biography I wrote pops up.

ALSO! One more thing! Sorry guys, I have tons of questions. However, the last one is, as I was reading the scholarship official rules, it said the deadline was December 2008. Please tell me I'm wrong and that this is a continuous and still active scholarship!!! Thanks so much guys! Looking forward to hearing from you all!

...can be answered by reading our FAQ.

We are not running a scholarship competition at this time. We simply don't have the funding for it, though we're doing what we can to get some funding back. Yes, though, you are signed up for the scholarship just by creating an account. You have to specifically opt-out, or just not meet the qualifications not to be in the competition.

As blackout pointed out, though, most of those questions can be answered through the FAQ.

You can find the FAQ by either using the link Blackout provided or you can refrence it in the future on the very top of the screen near the big orange/yellow "U" in the dark blue line.

I look forward to seeing you around.

If you still have questions feel free to ask... I think there is a forum topic for that too.

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.~- Anais Nin
