This is a good initiative nutildah, congratulations. I'm always up to see members being rewarded with their positive contributions to the community, even though sometimes they may be overshadowed by the amount of posts content that the forum itself generates. Your scholarship and similar threads run by other members always do end up helping people that may think that all the work that they've had didn't left a mark on people that read through their texts.

What do you think of having a list right on your first post where you'll say which members actually were awarded those awesome designed tickets of yours? I assume that whenever the thread gets long people will have a hard time knowing who was awarded or not, and having a list always facilitates that aspect of the program.

Also, perhaps it would be good to state the maximum number of times a people may apply for this scholarship. Or at least define a X period of time that the "winner" can't apply again just to give room to others to receive the merit as well.

Final remark from my side: could I add this thread to my signature link thread? I'm mostly compiling all the threads that reward merit to people that positively contribute to the forum and I think that yours fit the nature of it
