Hi Student,
PayPal and Edventure Partners invite you and your friends to
participate in the PayPal College Challenge 2008. This semester-long
programming contest gives your student team a great opportunity to
work on real-world eCommerce and ePayment systems and Web Services. It
also guarantees that your submission will have an audience with PayPal
engineers and executives.

This contest challenges you to create a demo of a PayPal-related
product or service that improves the lives of an audience you know
very well- fellow college students. It is a great opportunity for
creative technical students with business savvy to engage real-world
problems in a team-based setting. It rewards innovation, an
understanding of the market place, and design and development talent.
It could be a great opportunity for independent study credit, or an
exciting activity for you and up to 4 of your friends.

The top three (3) teams (including your faculty advisor, if
applicable) will be flown, all expenses paid, to the PayPal
headquarters in San Jose, California to present your demo to PayPal
executives and engineers. Scholarship prizes will be awarded to
finalist schools and up to ten (10) participating students will have
the opportunity to receive summer internships with PayPal.
