<p>On his Tumblr today, former Vimeo co-founder <a href="http://blog.zachklein.com/post/8740512361/im-offering-1000-in-skillshare-scholarships">Zach Klein</a> took a break from his <a href="http://blog.zachklein.com/post/6372407728/my-summer-job">summer project</a> building what looks like an off-the-grid cabin in the woods to announce a scholarship opportunity Peter Thiel would be proud of. To promote the value of peer-to-peer education, as opposed to that <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2011/07/14/eli-portnoy-debunks-the-value-of-a-harvard-mba/">no good very bad institutionalized kind</a> of book learning, Mr. Klein is offering $1,000 (total, not per person, sorry). Until the funds run out--or August 19th, whichever comes first--anyone who signs up for a class at Skillshare, where Mr. Klein notes he led the seed investment round through Founder's Collective, can be reimbursed up to $20 worth of the ticket price. All you have to do is email your receipt to <a href="mailto:skillsharescholarship@gmail.com">skillsharescholarship@gmail.com</a>.<!--more--></p>
<p>"I’m certain that this investment will eventually pay dividends back to  me in the form of a wider community of teachers and students for me to  learn with and from," writes Mr. Klein. Oh yeah, and that $20? He'll be sending it to you via <a href="https://venmo.com/">Venm</a><a href="https://venmo.com/">o</a>, which happens to be another Founder Collective investment. Haven't downloaded the app yet? Well now you have a reason to!</p>
