Vaccinated UAB students who uploaded their information into the student patient portal were eligible for two recent drawings to win one of ten $1,000 tuition/book scholarships, ten $1,000 on-campus housing scholarships and five parking passes. These were part of the many incentives offered to UAB students since the beginning of the fall semester. Half of the prizes were awarded on Friday, Sept. 24. The other half were given out on Friday, Oct. 15. Students were selected via a randomized drawing and then asked to answer a UAB-themed trivia question.
UAB Student Affairs Vice President John Jones, Ph.D., and Assistant Vice President for UAB Student Experience Mary Wallace, Ph.D. personally notified the students by calling some and for others, personally showing up to their residence hall or class. The events were streamed on @UABStudents Instagram.
