[0]Athaulf writes “I’m a high school kid with big dreams of prestigious
technology schools like MIT or Cal-Tech. The problem is, my upper-middle
class family had more down to Earth plans for me and my college choices
(about $30,000/year more down to Earth, actually), so financial aid and
college savings won’t come anywhere near MIT’s price tag. However, I’ve
been programming in C for a while now, and might release a GPL’d Linux
app soon. With this self-taught programming experience, academic merit,
and plenty of extra curricular activities, are there any FOSS supporting
organizations who might grant me a scholarship for my contributions? Do
companies like Google or Red-Hat offer scholarships to big name schools
in return for a few years of work after college?”
