Ludo Frevel. Ever hear of him? He was a chemist at Dow Chemical. I had to Google him to see who would be behind the “Ludo Frevel Crystallography Scholarship.” It sounds like the name of the bad guy in a Superman movie, not a serious scientist. It might also be a good name for a dog.
Midland University in Nebraska has become the first state college to offer scholarships for playing video games. These are the equivalent of athletic scholarships and include free room and board. From that little news item I learned about eSports – maybe better known as competitive video gaming or pro-gaming. The University has an eSports team and if you’re wondering about that high school kid of yours that spends all his time with video games, you can maybe still entice him off to college.
Scholarships are ever more necessary for college and thanks to the internet, you can find scholarships for almost anything. These are just a few of the ones I wish I’d known about in 1975: the Last Dollar Scholarship, the National Potato Council Scholarship, the Asparagus Club Scholarship and the Chick and Sophie Major Memorial Duck Calling Scholarship. Wouldn’t you be proud to have any of those listed alongside your name in the Commencement book? I know I’m a little old for scholarships now, but I think I might see if there is local chapter of the Asparagus Club.
