Ten Purdue students can win a year's worth of in-state tuition – by choosing to get vaccinated for COVID-19

Vaccination against COVID-19 may be the golden ticket for 10 lucky Purdue students. An Old Gold-en Ticket to be precise. No purchase necessary. No need to hunt for chocolate bars. From the pool of students who document their choice to become fully vaccinated, 10 students will be randomly selected to receive $9,992 — the equivalent of a year’s undergraduate tuition cost.
