New announcement from Answers Corp today: The company that is all about knowledge-sharing is now extending itself towards helping students acquire further knowledge – with the WikiAnswers Scholarship Program:

“Building a worldwide Q&A community takes a lot of hard work, dedication and knowledge — and it doesn’t only happen on the WikiAnswers site. Knowledge-sharing is a part of who we are every day, which is why Answers Corporation established the $20,000 WikiAnswers Scholarship Fund to provide funds for deserving students.”

Whoa! So here are some of the details, broken down:

• The WikiAnswers Scholarship Program plans to award twenty scholarships valued at $1,000 each for use by recipients.
• This scholarship is for students planning to be enrolled in undergraduate classes during the 2009-2010 academic year.
• Sign in to WikiAnswers with your username and answer at least 50 questions of your choice. The panel of judges will review the 50 answers you submit with your application for quality and accuracy.
• All materials must be submitted (and postmarked) by March 31, 2009.

You can get more details, including the FAQs and the downloadable scholarship application on the WikiAnswers Scholarship Program page.

As always, stay tuned for more scholarship information, tips and news.
