If your campus reaches a 70 percent vaccination rate, then all in person vaccinated students will be eligible to receive one of 70 scholarships, valued at $7,000 each. To receive a scholarship, I encourage you to get vaccinated, tell your University you’ve been vaccinated, and then encourage your friends to do the same.”
Together, we will vax up and smash COVID.
