Wins $10,000 Go Daddy Scholarship — Teen Domainer

Domain blogger wins $10,000 scholarship from Go Daddy.

Brian Diener, who writes the domain blog TeenDomainer.com, has been selected as one of the winners of the Go Daddy .Me Scholarship Program. Go Daddy will pay $10,000 toward Diener’s education at Emory University next fall.

On his blog today Diener wrote:

I was on godaddy one day buying a domain name when I saw the ad for the scholarship on the bottom of the page, and thought that it was a perfect scholarship for me. All of the hours I have spent learning regarding domaining have finally paid off in my parents eyes.

Diener was one of only 10 people to be selected for the scholarship.

The essay that helped him win? It was regarding his experience in the domain industry and how I see domain names.

I guess domaining can pay off in more than parking and domain sales.

Congratulations to Diener.
