I plan on offering my own “Scholarship” for Female-only twins too.

I will be for a non-degreed program with rigorous course wrok.

What, no mention of the Klingon Language Institute’s scholarship? $500 for a undergrad/grad student pursuing language studies. No knowledge of Klingon necessary.

Haha! I don’t think I know a single person at my school who DOESN’T know about the duct tape dress scholarship. Unfortunately, nobody seems to care much about it.

Considering that Andrew Carnegie emigrated to the United States at the age of 14, I doubt if he brought a bagpiper with him. He may have brought back a bagpiper from a subsequent trip to Scotland, after he made his fortune, but you may want to re-research that particular factoid.

Macalster College in St. Paul, MN also offers a bagpiping scholarship though I think you just have to take lessons not actually major in it.

When it isn’t incredibly freezing outside, the bagpipe majors will practice out on the lawn in the evenings. Which can actually be incredibly beautiful. In small doses, that is. It’s also a nice relief after spending multiple days holed up in a computer cluster. But anything is a relief after that.

Also… reCAPTCHA! Von Ahn is everywhere.

The Fire Sprinkler Association link was working earlier today, but appears to be temporarily down. I can’t post links here, but if you Google “Fire Sprinkler Association”+”scholarship”, you can click on “cache” and view the page.
