I know, I have received both grants and scholarships.At face value, scholarships focus more your acadademics. But they also promote the education of a person in the hopes that they will enhance either a certain idea (religion, lifestyle, culture),profession or both. In a way, scholarship committees serve themselves (as in promoting their goals) as well as the promising student. In that respect, Wickett is on track. If Wickett is really serious about a RPG scholarship, then he needs to set down straightforward guidelines on what majors can apply, or it will get messy. I would advise Mathmatics at the top of the list then Business, followed by English, and last but not least Graphic Design. Though I just had a very cool idea!How about a scholarship that focuses on genre writing that publishes the short stories of the winning students? The application process would be to send in a short story, the best crafted stories earn their authors a scholarship as well as a copy of the anthology. Hopefully, agents would also be on the look out for the book to be on the look out for up and coming talent. With some luck and good marketing, perhaps the printing of the books would even pay for themselves most of the time.</blockquote>
