UMass Announces Touchdown-For-Tuition Event At Upcoming Football Home Game
October 15, 2018 | Football
Undergraduates can enter to win one year of tuition awarded to one student should UMass return a kickoff for a touchdown against Coastal Carolina
AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts Athletics will award one year's tuition to a qualifying undergraduate student should a member of the UMass football program return a kickoff for a touchdown during the team's Sat., Oct. 20 game against Coastal Carolina at McGuirk Alumni Stadium. Opening kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m.
Students can qualify for the year of free tuition by attending the game against Coastal Carolina and checking in throughout the duration of the game via the Militia Student Rewards app.
Should a member of the UMass football team return a kickoff for a touchdown, a random drawing from all qualifying students in attendance will determine the winner. Undergraduate students must be checked in via the Militia Student Rewards app prior to the kickoff return touchdown and must be present at the time of the score to be eligible.
UMass previously returned a kickoff for a touchdown this season against Charlotte. Senior running back and return specialist Marquis Young brought back the opening kickoff 93 yards for a score against the 49ers on Sat., Sept. 22.
The touchdown-for-tuition event marks the latest addition to the Militia Student Rewards app prize packages.
Students can download the app by searching "Militia Student Rewards" and logging in with their UMass email address. By completing their account profile, students will be provided push notifications alerting them about upcoming home games, new prizes and additional opportunities to earn points.
All UMass Athletics home events are free of charge for undergraduate students with the use of their UMass Student ID Card.
Users redeem points for prizes, which include but are not limited to, an iPhone X, opportunities to travel with UMass Athletics teams, lunch with Director of Athletics Ryan Bamford and Boston Bruins tickets.
Students earn Militia Rewards App points for attendance of an event when they are in the designated GPS space during the allotted time frame. For all events, students earn points for checking in at varying times throughout the game, encouraging them to stay throughout the duration.
All students will be required to show their downloaded app and completed account in order to receive fan giveaways during the 2018-19 academic year. Point valuations will be allotted to all home sporting events throughout 2018-2019.
