Are you ready for some football?

I have been starved for football action for months! Fortunately for me my son Barrett was born on February 1. That saved me. The little mans arrival made the pain of a Patriots Super Bowl loss two days later more tolerable and allowed for the past 6 months to fly by! But enough about me. Let’s talk about my fellow Patriots fans!

Did you know the Patriots offer a Write On scholarship for students 13-18 years old? The scholarship is open to any legal resident of one of the New England States (ME, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI).

To enter, simply write between 500-750 words about the Patriots most recent game. After every four game stretch on the Patriots schedule, a first place winner of $5,000, two second place winners of $2,500, and six $1,000 winners will receive scholarship money. In addition, at the conclusion of the season, all previous winners will be eligible to win the $15,000 grand prize, $10,000 runner-up prize or the $5,000 honorable mention prize.

Videos entries are only accepted until September 5, 2008! The top ten videos with the most views on YouTube will be placed on ScholarshipPoints.com for members to vote on their favorite entry. Do you want to be in the top ten? Then promote your video! We have a few suggestions for you which will hopefully stack up your YouTube views!

*Before continuing, remember that each view represents the completion of a full version of the video. In other words, the full length of the video must play out to count for one view.
