Enrique Perez was one of the most recent winners of a $500 scholarship for being fully vaccinated.

More students have earned rewards as part of the university’s vaccination incentive effort. Last week, $500 scholarships, $100 parking permit credits, Walton Arts Center vouchers and Razorback Football tickets were awarded. Any student is eligible to win just by getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

Vaccinated students must enter to win to be eligible for incentives that will be awarded throughout the semester. Weekly drawings are held every Wednesday. The next drawing is scheduled for Nov. 17.

Additional weekly drawings will be held throughout the semester for COVID-19 vaccination incentives. All vaccinated U of A students who enter are eligible. Currently unvaccinated students can become eligible at any point in the semester as soon as they are vaccinated and have entered to win. Students only need to enter once to be eligible for all of the weekly drawings.

Each week, at least 15 prizes, including three $500 scholarships, will be awarded to vaccinated students who have entered to win. New winning names will be drawn randomly each week. So, the sooner students get vaccinated (and entered), the sooner they become eligible for the weekly drawings. 

Enter to win COVID-19 vaccination incentives.

Proof of vaccination (defined as one dose of Johnson & Johnson or second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine) will be required to claim prizes.
