Know your movie facts? Win a scholarship!
The Common Knowledge Scholarship Foundation is holding a movie quiz which includes questions on the Potter films (along with Shrek, Aladdin, Toy Story, and a few others).
The contest is based on a series of short multiple choice quizzes. You receive 500 points for each correct answer and lose 1 point for each second taken to complete each question. The person with the most points at the end is the scholarship winner.
A $250 scholarship will be awarded to the person who gets the highest combined score on the two quizzes you must take. To enter, visit this page on their site. Good luck to anyone who enters! Thanks to Jelani, Anna, and Leah for the tip.

Wow good luck to people who will enter :)
Gonna have a wee go at the quiz here but can't see me winning tho, I'm not a big fan of aladdin.
number 2!
good luck
awesome! i love movie trivia quizzes... good luck to all who enter!
omg, that so cool. i should say good luck to everyone... but I'm entering too.-
that sounds so cool!! i'm going to enter it right now! 7th?
I got an email about this this afternoon. I will enter, I need money for college, that is for sure. :) Good luck to the rest of you who enter.
A scholarship for common knowledge? Cool.
Wow I want to win, but I seriously doubt it. Good luck to anyone who is entering! :)
Oh goodie.......I knew about this scholarship for a bit now, and I was planning on entering because I need this scholarship for college next year....it is about time that loving Harry Potter is paying off......woot woot!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! Can't wait to take it!! I've been watching disney movies since I was 2!!
I highly doubt that if I try that I will win.... but if I do... It will help pay for my room and board bill this year [that is if the money is awarded soon after the competition] To anyone that tries out..... GOOD LuCK!
that sounds pretty cool, but i have a feeling they will be very hard questions. probably things like, "what color are jasmine's eyes from aladdin" (ok, maybe that isn't a hard question...) or other detail oriented questions. just my thought, but it sounds like a really cool way to get a scholarship, and i love the movies that are mentioned. i doubt i will enter though. good luck to those who do! :)
darn im not old enough to enter :( good luck to those who do!
wow I should enter. I won't do well though, I've never watched Aladdin all the way through :P
TOMORROW'S HAGRID'S BIRTHDAY!!!
blow me...this test sucks...eventhough i got 7398 points.
Awesome! I don't think I will enter though! Good luck to all those who do!! AND REALL? TOMORROW IS HAGRID'S BIRTHDAY!!! I luv that guy...or giant...whatever...
I'm not interested in any scholarship but I'd be interested just to take the test ... Good lck to anyone who goes for it though
hehahahaha! I got this from my official scholarship ship site-fastweb.com just a few hours ago. I'm poor so I'm hoping I'll get something-along with the other 64 scholarships I'm going for...lol Well hey, I've already got $26,000 to my top choice, Baylor...and it's what-$30,000+ a year? My point exactly. ;)
Oh boy, if I win, that's another half an hour in college COVERED.
that's awsome and all, but I can't exactly enter it with out more details..... the website doesn't exactly give a lot of them. what does CKSF stand for????
Darn it, MuggleNet, you blew the cover. Now a half million more people are going to enter than before. Boo on you.
oh i wish i could enter...don't think ill win though. I'm not a HUGE Aladin fan good luck to all those who do enter though =)
I already entered into this!
Werid..
That is so odd. What is the scholership? twenty bucks?
Gah! Mugglenet! Why did you have to tell everyone about this? I got an email about this earlier and will be entering, but I learned of it through a scholarship search site. I don't think you should have posted this because now every Potter fan and their grandma will enter this making it less likely that the people who need the extra money and put extra time into searching for scholarships will actually get it. Not cool...
I'm giving it a shot. never seen aladin though, so I hope there aren't very many questions on that one.
yay! I got an email on this earlier too!! it's only for $250 but hey it's still money :) and CKSF stands for common knowledge scholarship foundation... for those of you who were wondering
Noooooo! Mugglenet! I found out about this scholarship all on my own just a few hours ago, and I registered, and was very happy because I had such a big chance! And then I came here to check the news, and you put my secret info out into the world of addicts for all the other hpmaniacs to see, and now I hardly stand a chance, even though I watched it just the other day with the whole ABC premeire thingy. grr.
huh, well, I checked the dates. I'm not even going to be here to take the quizzes (I'll be on vacation). Oh well, good luck to everyone who's entering!
Hopefully I win something. I really need cash for the spring term.
Check out the privacy policy of that website before you enter... they're not just giving away free money.
dang you mugglenet... i wanted this to be my little secret... along with everyone else that got the info off of fastweb
This is awesome, I am going to see all the movies all over again.!!!!!!!!!!
yea! it was worth it to see all those movies!!
I dont need a scholarsip now and I doutb I am even old enough to enter. I am only 13 so the scholarship would have to wait about 6 years before I could use it for college
I am not old enough, you have to be atleast in High School, which makes sense. But darn, I could have done good, I love all those movies
that's cool.. and its cool yall put it on here...
Well, I can enter if this is still going in April...I'm only thirteen so I can't enter until my birthday.
A 250 dollar scholarship? Heh....I'll need a better scholarship than that for college! What the heck? I'll give it a try anways....
to britishwannabe: those little scholarships add up, and when you're a broke college student like me, it makes a difference. =] but now i have to compete with all the people that visit mugglenet for the money! =(
i wonder if they will be easy or hard? example: what is the last name of harry's dreadful aunt uncle and couson? (easy) or: what is the total # of chapters in the first, second, and third boooks? (hard); or maybe a little inbetween or a little of both; i wonder how many people will enter the contest? and last but not least i think the grand prize should be more than just $250.
Is anyone else having trouble registering? Whenever I complete the registration, it never completely goes through.
What a terrible reason to give a scholarship. O___O There's nothing scholarly about sitting on one's arse watching films.
Even if it's only $250 it's still a nice chunk of change, and I go to one of the most expensive private colleges in the US (about $35,000 a year, all on scholarship of course). Any scholarship-hungry college student will tell you that every little bit helps. If you want, right now they're hosting a practice quiz all about Chamber of Secrets for a $50 gift card. It's only 20 questions... and I scored an 8883. I accidentally put "Pansy Parkinson" for the person Hermione wanted to change into (with Polyjuice potion) because I was going so fast and once I clicked submit I just about kicked myself. Ugh. Oh well. Good luck to all who enter!
The test was easy I thought. I got a score of 9838. But good look to everybody that entered!
A scholarship? For movie trivia? They should be encouraging potential students to read and study, not sit around watching movies. x.X
