Want a chance to win some serious scholarship cash and maybe even appear on mtvU? If you’re a college student who’s kicking tail to bust stigma and educate your campus about mental health, you might just get it.

Michael Corbin (Executive Director at everyminute.org, amazing mental health advocate, and someone I’m proud to say I know) recently told me about the Jed Foundation’s current Jerry Greenspan Student Voice of Mental Health Award designed to honor one student who is working to make a difference in the world of mental health awareness.

To show the Jed Foundation just how much you rock, create a video (no longer than five minutes) highlighting your good deeds and submit it online or via snail mail. The judges will be looking for how much effort and creativity you put into the video, so don’t slack if you want a real shot at winning. (Don’t slack, anyway, because you want to really give your work a chance to shine, right?)

And, if you do win, here’s what you get:

• $2,000 cash scholarship
• Recognition through The Jed Foundation’s website and events
• Trip to New York to attend The Jed Foundation’s annual gala in June 2009
• An opportunity to appear on MTVU**

**The mtvU appearance is dependent on the focus and content of the winner’s submission. This appearance is not guaranteed to the scholarship winner.

I have no idea who’s attending this year’s gala, but I do know Duncan Sheik performed last year (and that “Barely Breathing” is probably going to be in my head for the rest of the day).

The Jed Foundation provides all the details about entering and the deadline is February 13, 2009, so hop to it peeps. Finals aren’t for a while now and this is a fantastic opportunity.
