Over the next month, 15 notebook PCs will be given away to 15 lucky winners, and the first two contests started over the weekend. These giveaways are part of the HP Freshman 15 promotion. The first two giveaways happen to be hosted by fellow College Money Network members. Each contest only lasts a week, so head over right now and enter for a chance to win.
- Birthday Laptop Giveaway — Stephanie at Poorer Than You is sending people on a hunt for information that can all be found by searching through her blog. Correctly answer the 10 questions, send them to her, and then check back on October 3rd to see if you won.
- Broke-Ass Student Is Giving Away A Free Laptop — Jennifer Lynn is encouraging us to learn about how money works in the United States. Introduce yourself and discuss one of the topics she has listed, and you could win a new computer by the end of the week.
