Members of the Urban Honking community donated to a $1000 scholarship for a college freshman. This blog is a record of their first year.
While the founders of Urban Honking never completed (or in some cases attended) college, each has had individual experiences that convince them of the value of higher education. In the face of rising costs for a college education the addition of $1000 is just a drop in an ever-expanding bucket. The additional value of the Urban Honking scholarship is that one freshman is brought into the Urban Honking community which now has a personal stake in the ongoing success of a freshman.
Urban Honking would like to thank those that donated for the 2010 scholarship:
Mike Merrill, Josh Berezin, Alex Mahan, Willow, Steve Schroeder, Matt Okin, Curt, Shayla, Gene Merrill, Rich Jensen, Matthew Stadler, Regarding, Bram Pitoyo, Mike McGonigal, Greg Borenstein, Andy Delcambre, Matthew Spencer, Aaron Quint, Samantha, chcrist, and mojopdx.
