Call me the King of Plan B…
As always, I try to have a plan B. This one still needs more development, but I am getting there.
I have been trying to work with Parkview High School here in Gwinnett County for the last several weeks on a $1000 scholarship for a student blogger. As part of this, I have had a couple of volunteer judges from the Active Rain real estate community agree to help sort through the entered blogs. Further information about the criteria and the latest updates are here.
Well, I am against a major roadblock. Officials at the school have informed me that blogs are not allowed as part of the curriculum, and therefore cannot be part of a scholarship’s requirements. I am still hardheadedly pursuing this concept. I think there are some tremendous benefits for both the students and the school.
So, I will make a commitment here:
I will continue to offer the scholarship.
The school is not able to promote the scholarship, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be offered. I will have to rely of search engine placement, word of mouth and viral marketing to get the word out. So, the big question is… Will there be students interested in pursuing this scholarship?
Contact me through my site. Read the links to see what sort f conditions. We will maintain that the blog cannot violate any part of the GCPS Student-Parent Handbook.
I will be updating this subject in the next few days to fill in blank spots in the requirements.
