Ohio has started a new COVID vaccination incentive program for students.
In a nutshell, beginning Monday, October 4th, Ohioans (age 12 - 25), who have received at least one vaccination shot, can opt-in to a drawing for two million dollars in scholarships. There are 150 $10,000 scholarships and 5 $100,000 grand prize scholarships. The scholarships can be used at any Ohio college, university, technical / trade school or career program. Vaccinated students can opt-in online or by phone.
Students who registered for the prior Vax-a-million program, can opt-in to the Vax-to-school drawing as well. There is not a time-frame requirement for when the vaccination was received. It the program may eventually be expanded to students age 5-11.
