High school seniors trawling the Internet for college scholarships may want to bone up on their tweeting skills.
Louisville-based KFC is offering a $20,000 scholarship for a single tweet. With a character limit of 140, that's $142 per character for the winner.
Applicants must use their brief statement to say why they are deserving of the Colonel's Scholars scholarship. Tweets must include the hashtag KFCScholar, and only high school seniors may apply.

Contest Start

The contest started Wednesday and runs through Nov. 26. The winner will be announced Dec. 1.

"It's judged based on quality, creativity, ability to tell a story on why they should receive the award, and the entrepreneurial drive and desire to pursue a college education," said KFC spokesman Rick Maynard.
