09.23.08 | And the Scholarship Idol Winner Is

Posted in Scholarship Idol, scholarship points, scholarships by Kristin Morris

After a long summer of Scholarship Idol we are pleased to release the final results.

Thanks to all who entered back in the YouTube round and to those who made it to the member voting round. And now without further ado, the winner of the 2008 Scholarship Idol is:

Adrian Mique: ScholarshipPoints Sword

“First of all I want to thank God for gracing me with this scholarship! Prayer works! JIL CYNsd! I am a freshman from San Diego State University and starting college is a new experience for my whole family. As the first one to go in I hope I can be an example to my little brothers. Thanks to this scholarship, I can now focus more on my studies rather than my worries and succeed!

Thank you guys so much for everyone who voted for me! Especially the morseheads! My video is an expression of how hard it is to beat tuition but this site is the real deal, I’m no fake and neither is this website im sure this’ll prove it. God is Love!.”- Adrian

Vote Calculations

The final calculations are different than the real time display because the rules state only ScholarshipPoints members may vote and only one entry per member is allowed. We unfortunately had 450 votes which were either duplicate or made by non-members and this had a big impact on some entries.

All runners-up will receive a Flip Video Camcorder and the winner will need to contact us so that we can get the information we require for sending the winning scholarship check to their school financial aid office.

The winner should contact us, as well as anybody with specific questions at members@scholarshippoints.com

Posted in scholarship points by Kristin Morris

Voting is over, thanks to all who voted and especially those who contributed videos. As promised we are now verifying all votes. We will be deleting any duplicate email address or duplicate person and we will also be running all voter emails addresses against our list of active Scholarship Points members.

What this means to you is that the winner is not yet determined despite what the real time results show. We have already removed over 100 duplicate votes!

We will announce the winner in the Thursday newsletter and on the site. The winner will receive the $1,000 scholarship and early next week we will send all runners-up the Flip Cam Video Camera.

Be sure to enter the $10,000 Scholarship we will be giving away in October!

09.09.08 | Idol Voting Tips and Warning About Cheating

Posted in Scholarship Idol, scholarship points, scholarships by Kristin Morris

As the votes start streaming in for the 2008 Scholarship Idol I wanted to give some encouragement to all entrants and lay the smack down on cheaters, not that there are any but there always seems to be soembody who tries to trick the system and yes we’ve pulled scholarships from winners a a couple of time already for cheating.

For Finalists

If you are a finalist and need votes you can impact this. Only members can vote but your friends should all be members anyway so get them to join and vote for you! They might win a scholarship of their own as well.

Also don’t get down if you aren’t doing so well in the voting yet, there’s plenty of time and things can change overnight.

About Cheating

Remember each vote must be entered by a valid ScholarshipPoints member. We will verify each entry to make sure the name, email and school matches our databse records for members. If there is a question we may contact the voting member to verify. If it becomes apparent that there is some tom foolery, shady business or other shennagians with a video entry votes we reserve the right to toss that entry out of the competition!

You’ve worked hard to get this far and you’re all smart kids, just don;t try to oursmart Point Guard and Professor or Professor will be on you like a spider monkey.
