Auburn University is giving away scholarships, unlimited meal plan upgrades, priority class registration and other perks to encourage students to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Alabama school announced the program this week, as the state’s vaccination rate lags behind the rest of the United States.
Only 34.2% of Alabama residents are fully vaccinated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, compared to 49.3% of the United States’ population.
Fully-vaccinated students attending Auburn in the fall can enter a drawing and there will also be prizes for the campus organizations with the most vaccinated members, according to a post on the school’s website.
