# SCHOLARSHIP

Scholarship lets Character NFT owners lend their Characters to other players called scholars.

Scholarship lets players who own Character NFTs lend them to other players, called scholars. Players without Character NFTs can borrow them and play the game. BOUNTYKINDS is free to play without understanding the blockchain, but players can earn more by understanding it and lending or borrowing through Scholarship.

### Lending

The owner sets the following and posts the Character to the Scholarship Board.

| Setting        | Detail                            |
| -------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Price          | The amount of YU the scholar pays |
| Lending period | 3, 7, 15, 30, or 90 days          |
| Password       | Set by the owner                  |
| Comment        | Free text from the owner          |

There is no fee on a Scholarship transaction.

### Borrowing

Scholars browse the Scholarship Board, select the Character NFT they want, and apply for it.

### Flow

1. The scholar pays YU to the owner.
2. The owner lends the Character NFT and receives the YU.
3. The scholar plays BOUNTYKINDS with the borrowed Character.
4. Items and tokens earned during play belong to the scholar.
