Good point, though.

The concept of “free lunch” doesn’t exist in the corporate world…even the supposed to be corporate social responsibility comes with a price…whether to avail it or not…that’s the question!

Then, in the excitement, you’ll be more likely to give in and give up your work in exchange for a few pennies now versus the rest of your future.

I was looking for such strings but couldn’t find them — surely they are buried once applications are filed.
I would imagine a person could get both scholarships — but given how many people apply and how few get in, it would be like getting hit with lightning twice! (Or perhaps they would prohibit you from taking both!)

This is a pretty blatant contest for buying higher minds.
I wonder if there are strings attached to any of the money — like a “first look” deal or a more severe, “anything you create on our fellowship must be shared with us.”
Can somebody get both a Google and a Facebook scholarship… or are you limited to accepting only one?
