Of course you do. Would you believe there is now a thousand dollar scholarship for students who blog? And you can nominate yourself?

In an effort to "encourage discussion" on race-based scholarships, a student group called the Boston University College Republicans (BUCR) has instituted a controversial $250 "Caucasian Ac
Something very unfortunate happened this week. The US had to revoke eight Fulbright Scholarships for students from Gaza to study in the US due to Israeli-imposed travel restrictions. From CNN:
This will probably cause some eye-rolling on the part of my local readers, but there's an interesting article in Inside Higher Ed on the real effect of merit scholarships, which is the term of art for "money given to stude
I've always thought insight is best defined as noting something obvious that everyone else overlooked.
Is there a real reason why like so many other contests, this one is only open to US citizens?

We have made this scholarship available to any student who goes to college in the U.S. We see no reason not to do so.
Also, we have upped the prize money and made it an annual award of $5000.
Oh, that's not my complaint. My complaint is that it excludes students who aren't US citizens. There are plenty of foreign students in the US, as well as people who grew up in the US and are for all intents and purposes Americans except that they have no citizenship.
Alon, foreign students don't seem to be excluded any more - now you just have to study at an US college.
Finally got to it and nominated a couple of good science blogs written by undergrads.
