I just found out about this scholarship opportunity for girls ages 8-18.  Not sure if we have any of than demographic on the forum, but I bet we have some parents! 

The scholarship is from GamingAngels.com for girls (again, ages 8-18) who play video games, and the prize is enrollement at National Computer Camp (http://www.NCCamp.com) this summer, valued $985. They do not provide travel costs, but there are locations in Connecticut, Georgia, New York and Ohio.  Applicants have to write a 500-600 word essay on the topic: "What is your favorite video game, and how would you change the design to improve it?"

Find out all the specifics about the scholarship here:  http://www.gamingangels.com/2011/05/win-a-scholarship-to-national-computer-camp/

And please pass this around!  I wish there was an opportunity like this for girls when I was 8-18!
