National scholarship program turns to social media for its application process
High school seniors trawling the internet for college scholarship programs might want to bone up on their tweeting skills: Louisville, Ky.-based KFC is offering a $20,000 scholarship for a single tweet. With a character limit of 140, that’s $142 per character for the winner. Applicants must use their brief statement to say why they are deserving of the Colonel’s Scholars scholarship program. Tweets must include the hashtag “KFCScholar,” and only high school seniors may apply.
