Title: Any other people going off to college soon?
Post by: CK9 on December 06, 2004, 07:53:33 PM

best way to explain myself is to quote the site:

Quote

Help your friends find scholarships and you could help yourself to $10,000. Enter the email addresses of people you know who could use FastWeb to find college scholarships. We'll send your message.

You spread the word. We'll spread the wealth. You'll earn one entry into the sweepstakes for each friend you email. The more friends you refer, the more chances you have to win. No purchase or application necessary — see the official rules for more details.

$10,000 would be very helpful for college...plus, if I send it to you, you can email your friends and have the same chance  (thumbsup)

what exactly do they use the email addresses for?

Hope, it isn't related to spam etc.

FastWeb is a scholarship search.

They send you information regarding scholarships you may be interested in (you can turn it off though).

It's worth a look. I should have actually done some of the scholarship requests... like the Duct Tape one, where you and your date attend the prom wearing clothing made from duct tape.

Ahh..., duct tape? And you've have been able to convince your date to go along with this?

Hmm, Einstein's brain in a jar. Sounds cool. I used to keep half a pigs brain in a jar floating in fermaldehyde (no idea how to spell that). It was great for teasing smaller siblings with when I wanted to be left alone. The other half got left on a shelf at school somewhere. It was just plain forgotten about and dissappeared. I feel sorry for whatever janitor came across it first.

Wow doesn't look as bad as I thought.

As for the email address. No. As for the duct tape... maybe.
