If I only get 2nd place then I will have something new to wear. An extra $1000 scholorship would mean my family could eat while I go to school.

However, there is also a chance you will! If the tweet is crafted well and gets their attention, it's the easiest $1000 a student will make. The consolation prizes are just that, consolation prizes. Your best bet is ALWAYS going to be scholarships and grants from the individual colleges. But this gives EVERYONE a chance, and I'm all for that!

They couldn't have at least offered a few hundred? Who needs a little cash to help with books when they have a branded hat and t-shirt, amirite? “I applied for a $1000.00 scholarship and all I got was this lousy shirt”
