There are a lot of junky websites out there with no real point in existing, but occasionally you come across one that has a real purpose. Today I found the Patrick Kerr Skateboarding Scholarship website. It provides scholarship funds for all you American skateboarders looking to go to college.

As part of the application you have to write an essay about how skateboarding has been a positive influence in your life. How often do you get to write about skating as part of furthering your education?
