Swinburne Online Six Word Scholarship
The worlds fist scholarship from a social post.
Swinburne Online is challenging traditional university scholarships with the Six Word Scholarship, the world’s first university scholarship awarded from a single social post.
Based on Ernest Hemingway’s legendary six-word story (For sale: baby shoes, never worn.) the Six Word Scholarship took applications for a communications scholarship directly in the comments on social media. Every original story that adhered to the six-word limit was considered a successful application.
The best story won the scholarship.
