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 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 Right now, I have to go to my mother’s and borrow her outdated computer that takes forever to work and greatly hinders the quality of my work.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
