They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but that’s not true at all! One lucky winner will be roaring on March 31 after winning 10K!

Give yourself a hand!

Why am I particularly jazzed up today, you ask?  Well folks, last night, ScholarshipPoints.com surpassed the 250,000 member mark!!  I know applause should be dealt somewhere, so I say give yourself a round of it.  That’s 1/4 million of you hard earning pointateers out there walking through the ScholarshipPoints doors taking surveys, reading blogs and other cool stuff to win free scholarships.  Bravo.

And speaking of scholarship winners, we have a drawing coming up!  We’re going to try and pin it to the 1st of every month, but since Captain J will be at home preparing various Superbowl cuisines on Sunday, Feb 1st, we’re going to have to wait for the work week (if you have any unique ideas for Superbowl food, post them below!!).  So, on Feb 2nd, 2009, the winners will be posted by noon.  If you check the homepage, you’ll see a giant orange button directing you where you need to go.  Winners page.  I’ll post the winners and 2 runners up for each scholarship, so LOOK FOR YOUR NAME.  If you see it, contact us at members@scholarshippoints.com with a nice big readable subject heading like I AM THE WINNER.

Remember, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN.  I won’t be calling/e-mailing the winners anymore.  This way ALL scholarships go to regular, deserving customers!  You earned the points, so you should reap the rewards, right?

Some news and notes:

• Follow us on Twitter for tons of weekly points
• Friend us on Facebook for even MORE of previously described tons of weekly points
• If you haven’t been in awhile, take a look back at the forum for new codes.

One more question: If we built a cool Facebook application where it would show in your newsfeed that you entered a bonuscode like “Suzie Whatshername just earned 20 points by Digging Debt Reduction!”, would you use it?  I think it would be pretty darn cool, what about you guys?  Comment below.

Hi folks,

For you faithful blog followers, I present this new weekly opportunity.  At the end of each week, I’ll be giving everyone a brief summary of the previous week’s point opportunities.  Secret blog/Facebook/MySpace/forum codes will NOT be revealed.  Actually, no codes will be revealed, I’ll just be summarizing where to go GET them.

So, if you haven’t been paying attention this week, you’ve been missing out on over 100 points!  Here are the ones I can tell you about…others..well you’re on your own (they’re out there…check the forum for hidden codes:

• Follow @winscholarships on twitter.  Be warned, Twitter is as useful as it is addicting.  I know you’ll be tweeting and tweeted more than you know what to do with.  More info here (up to 75 points have been earned by a bunch of you guys so far!)
• Professor’s weekly challenge.  Can you outsmart the professor (he’s kind of a bozo, so it shouldn’t be too hard).  Get your 10 points here

There you have it, your weekly update.

-Captain J

Shh, secret 15 points: RECAPWOOO

p.s., I know the under 18ers are bummed about ZoomPanel, so we have a special opportunity just for you guys too.  If you’re in high school, you’ll find it.

(may be a big time code hiding in the next ScholarshipPoints newsletter)

From Student Loan Help » Scholarship Points:

A scholarship is defined as a sum of money or aid granted to a student, because of merit, need, or other, to pursue his or her studies. That seems pretty straight forth, with the exception of the “other” category. It is this category I would like to discuss further.
When I was going to [...]
