Time for Sallie to dump a little marketing money onto the public again. This contest is to submit a 30 second video clip with interesting ways you are saving for college.  The contest is from June 15th to August 1st. The grand prize is $5,000 second place is $1,000 and then 8 $250 finalists. This has unlimited entries.

I may submit that I am saving for a masters by paying down my outrages 13% Sallie Mae loan and paying extra so I actually touch the principal and watching Sallie like a hawk to be sure they apply my payments in a manner that helps me get out of debt as opposed to the default whatever makes Sallie more money and keeps me a slave longer.

The contest is for people to enter a 30 second video clip on one of three categories (saving for college, in college now & paying it back). The prizes are for 10,000$ and various runner up prizes like 250$ gift cards. Man there could be some funny entries poking at the whole student loan establishment so I will start jotting down some ideas. The contest ends May third. 10,000$ would be a nice chunk out off the student loan yoke.

More info on the contest can be found HERE.
