Free HP Laptops for College Students
Unfortunately, the free HP laptop deal I was originally posting about has expired. Yet that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other ways to find a free laptop for college!
If you haven’t already, you should sign up immediately for Fastweb and keep an ear out toward the local news. Since a lot of free laptop offerings are local and temporary, these are a great source of keeping up to date on these contests and awards that you’re specifically eligible for:
Since the costs of technology are rapidly declining, more and more schools and districts are providing free laptops to high school students. The same phenomenon is occurring in more colleges and universities as well. As of mid-January I don’t see any large nation-wide programs being offered at the moment, but I’ll be sure to keep this updated as I come across more awards, contests, or promotions that provide free computers for college students.
-Original Post-
OK, so its Friday night at midnight and maybe I should be doing something more interesting than blogging about free stuff for college students.
Well, 15 free HP Laptop Computers for college freshman is kind of exciting, isn’t it?
One of the blogs on my RSS reading list, Poorer Than You, has announced the first round of the HP Laptop Giveaway.
Just by answering 10 questions that can be found throughout the blog, a college student can apply to win one of these free laptops. If you complete the contest held at each site, you can have up to 15 chances to win!
Now obviously, free laptops are going to bring out a lot of interest. You can expect thousands of people to register. The odds might not be great, but they are certainly better than zero if you just keep up with the promotion and check out each site as the contest rolls out.
Ok, I’m going to keep this short because I don’t have all the details - and the details for later websites haven’t even been fully released yet.
Here are the education blogs that have been invited to participate, and you’ll be able to find more information about signing up at he following links during the time-frames listed.

i want to win the laptop by having a contest
i whant to compete for the laptop to enhance my studies so please give me a chance.
THANK YOU
thank you for honouring my request but i plead on your behalf to make me the winner
great idea and - as someone who sells hp laptops - I can say these are great quality machines.
I am 36 years old with two daughters, 15, and 10 years of age. My husband passed away at the age of 38 this June. I’ve returned to school, and I do receive some financial assistance for school, but living expenses are what the real mountain is. Still, we are making it and doing well. I have good grades and I’m getting involved in various organizations I have a passion for. I would very much like to have a laptop since two of my classes are online, and I will continue to take classes online. Right now, I have to go to my mother’s and borrow her outdated computer that takes forever to work and greatly hinders the quality of my work. I would be willing to work for them, between my schedule, or set up a payment plan to pay for the laptop a little at a time. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Leslie Withers

Good Lord! Are you people commenting really that stupid! If you read the post you would know that you don’t sign up or even request an application for this program through this blog. Not to mention that if you look at the dates posted it appears this was over months ago!
How can any of you expect to be handed anything when half of you don’t have proper grammar or even appear to be able to read directions? Honestly it doesn’t appear that any of you deserve a laptop not to mention to be in school. The stupidity is amazing.
Finally someone who knows how to use a blog… Are you other people just goofs or are you really stupid? Duh! This is a place for information sharing not to pray or ask for pity. Who cares about your problems anyway, we all are in the Sh!t. This blog is not god or a wish fairy. Use spell check. And go pray somewhere else. You idiots would walk up to a lottery machine, ask it for a ticket and then ask the machine to let you win! “Stupid is as stupid does”.
i need it for my project works

As Howard Thurman said “Don’t ask what the needs, ask what makes you come alive, and go do it, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” For me, this quote means to not ask others what you want to be, you are the one who can make your own decisions. Then, you should share the knowledge to the world all around you.
I consider myself a middle-class Dominican. As a teenage, life in one way is easy, but as the years pass by, like becomes a long set of stairs that you have to handle step by step.
There are times in your life when people help you realize you are capable of being what you truly want to be. The person who inspired me to become a better person is my dad. He is thirty-nine years old. His dad did not want him to go to college, so he came to the United States when he was twenty-four years old. In his mind, he thought that moving to the United States would make his dreams of a better life come true. Instead, he found friends that pressured him into choosing a path that shattered all of his dreams, Now, my dad has a miserable life.
I never knew my mother. I was raised by my grandmother since I was twenty-four days old. When I was eight-years-old, my dad was sent to jail. My friends shut me out because of my family life. But, I tried to always keep my held head high and my mind focused on the future.
These last two years have brought about so many changes– both good and bad. I went from a warm home to a homeless shelter, which I live in as I write this essay, when my grandmother decided to move back to the Dominican republic, I was left on my own. I decided that I needed to leave school during my senior year and find a full-time job.
After one month of living with my friends and trying to find a job, I realized that I needed to go back to school, graduate, and go on to college and earn a degree.
Thanks to my principal, counselor, and teachers I have a now have a place to live. Even thought I am at a homeless shelter, I know that this just one stop in my journey of life.
I want to become a dentist that gives back to the community. I want to be a dentist that work with people who are and who need help. My dream is to build a dental practice in which everyone is on the same team and all working towards the same goal. When I played varsity volleyball, Coach Brueder taught us how to work as a team and I carry his advice with me always, The volleyball team taught me how to give and take, win and lose, prioritize, and how to build my self-confidence; and when we won a game, I knew that it was because we all worked together.
Even though I have had too many bad life experiences at my age, I know that they have only made me a stronger, and more motived woman. I survived the bad; now all I see ahead of me is good. I am the only one who has the key to my future. As Auguste Rodin once said, “Nothing is wasted of time, if you use the experience wisely”.
Halo, am a student at Kenyatta University in Kenya pursuing a bachelors degree in community development and i need a laptop for my project management unit. Am hereby requesting for your assistance please.
