FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Diego Paz won Razorbacck football tickets and a parking pass to the homecoming football game against Auburn — one of nearly 30 incentives that University of Arkansas students won in the latest weekly drawing for vaccination incentives. Prizes included $500 scholarships, $100 parking permit credits, tickets and other incentives, all available just for 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 being held every Wednesday.

Additional weekly drawings will be held throughout the semester for COVID-19 vaccination incentives. All vaccinated, currently enrolled 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 enter), 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.
