We’re just three weeks in and the Foreclosure.com Scholarship Program has experienced overwhelming interest within the education sector.

Colleges and universities across the nation — Columbia University, Tulane University and Michigan State University to name just a few — have been actively promoting the scholarship with hopes that one of their own will not only win the top prize ($5,000), but ultimately help “solve the foreclosure crisis.”

Thousands of applications have been pouring in with well-written essays that provide unique/creative solutions to a complex problem. We called for innovative ideas and the students have answered en masse!

With three months remaining in the Foreclosure.com Scholarship Program (Deadline = Dec. 31, 2009) there is still ample time for students to get involved in the foreclosure discussion and submit their applications.

We look forward to hearing your ideas!

For more information about this student opportunity please visit our scholarship page (www.foreclosure.com/scholarship) right here.

… at The Temple House in South Beach is underway!

Here are two quick pictures I snapped with my iPhone this morning:

Can’t wait to chat with several great industry contacts, “pick up the latest ideas” and “spend a full day of learning and networking.”

Looking forward to that genuine Bacardi Mojito at the closing event, too.

It’s a good question. One that is seemingly still baffling policy makers even at the highest levels of the United States government.

But it’s not for lack of effort.

Proposals have been floated, ideas have been shared and new laws have been passed to try and stem the foreclosure tide. We’ve seen everything from bank bailouts to loan modifications to grassroots prevention programs, but still the defaults continue. And it’s possible that it could get worse before it gets better.

So what else can/should be done to solve the foreclosure crisis?

We’re asking college students (and incoming freshmen) to answer that critical question in our recently-introduced Foreclosure.com Scholarship Program. It’s an essay contest (minimum 1,000 words, maximum 2,500) that rewards innovative and practical individuals with the most creative ideas in the form of scholarship money. The submission deadline is Dec. 31, 2009.

In addition to the cash prizes (5) in the form of scholarships, the best five plans will be sent to Congress and to President Barack Obama himself. Winning submissions will also be published on Foreclosure.com.
