Scholarship Gives Cash to Teens who Help Seniors

by Terrence O'Brien on September 26, 2007 at 02:11 PM

PNY ScholarshipCalling all technologically inclined high school seniors! Memory maker PNY launched its Seniors Helping Seniors college scholarship contest in which high school seniors (either individually or in teams of up to five) are invited to put together projects to help teach senior citizens about technology.

Submissions are being accepted until December 31, and a $2,500 scholarship will be handed over to the winning team. There are also three prizes for honorable mention (a PNY-branded USB flash drive and a flash memory card) and undisclosed rewards for simply participating.

Teaching seniors about the latest in computer technologies -- and how to utilize them -- is something we can all get behind. One caveat: The contest has a head-scratching requirement that all entrants be public high school students.
