Dear JobsBlog: I haven’t seen any info about the Microsoft Scholarship program at my school this fall, did I miss the deadline? And can you tell me more about the summer internship requirement that accompanies the scholarship?

Last year, we awarded over 40 scholarships and 9 of them were full tuition for the 2007-2008 school year. I’m sure those parents were happy we were able to contribute to their children’s college fund!
