progressiveu scholarship

creative writing

I've recently started posting on the creative writing section of this site, but I wondered why exactly posting there doesn't give us scholarship points. Is creativity not important to progression?
I'm not so great at the "essay" part of finding scholarships. As many of you can probably tell from my blogging. But when it comes to creativity I can handle that.

Ever so thankful.

Ever noticed the massive influx of scholarships consisting of things such as your name, your address, and so on, then only to be finished by a 500 word essay stating "Why you think you deserve this money"?
Yeah, I'm sick of those too.
I know that my real reason for wanting the money would NEVER get me selected for the scholarship.

A Fine Society

Society is such a sad place. There is so much that is miserable and ugly, so much fighting and hatred in people, homes, and countries. However, instead of acknowledging this and trying to fix this, society sticks its head in the sand. I see people who wish so desperately to create a new reality, but refuse to acknowledge this ugliness or change it into something better.

Security: A Right That Should Not Be Forfeited

On September 11, 2001, the world watched in horror as four American planes were hijacked by Muslim extremists. Two planes flew into the World Trade Center, another flew into the Pentagon, and yet another plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

Almost there!

Can you believe it? 23 hours to go before the official end of this semester's Blogging For Progress Scholarship.

Beginning tomorrow afternoon at 12:01 PM PST, our group of student volunteers (The Alumni Association's Faculty Members) will begin reviewing blog entries and comments, adding in points from Bonus Point Opportunities, and adding up read counts on everyone's blog.

Keep on chugging lil Engine

(Did you get my allusion in the tittle?)

I admit, what originally caught my eye was the $1,000 scholarship. That is why I checked this place out. It is not the only reason I signed up though. I signed up cause I like the idea, and I like what is going on here. This stimulation of meaningful conversation is a wonderful thing.
