Learn more about the challenge and how you can be entered to win free tuition and other prizes.

  • You must be a currently enrolled Rutgers University-New Brunswick full-time or part-time undergraduate or graduate student.

  • Students with five or more stamps by the first week of each month are entered into random gift card and swag bag drawings. Students with ten or more completed stamps by the end of the game period, will be entered into the grand prize drawing to win free tuition* for the following semester. We will also raffle off gift cards for our runner up prizes.

  • Log in using your NetID and password to the game board. Earn stamps by attending our virtual events, utilizing our online tools, and engaging with our resources. If you are attending an event, make sure you “swipe in” and enter your RUID in event registration and complete the evaluation. Earn extra raffle entries by completing even more stamps—(e.g., 10 Stamps = 1 Challenge Raffle Entry, 20 Stamps = 2 Entries, 30 Stamps = 3 Entries). The link will be active when the challenge begins.

    • Generally, tuition is calculated based on a number of factors. For the purposes of the challenge, tuition payment will equal no more than the equivalent of one semester of undergraduate in-state tuition ($6,837.00) as calculated in Fall 2023. Payment excludes student fees and other costs associated with attendance and enrollment.
    • To qualify, contestants must be a currently enrolled Rutgers-New Brunswick undergraduate or graduate student. You must be able to produce a valid RUID number.
    • Full-time and part-time students are eligible from all Rutgers-New Brunswick schools, however the winner will only receive the total amount of one semester of undergraduate in-state tuition as calculated in Fall 2024 for the School of Arts and Sciences.
    • Your participation in the game will earn you entry into a drawing if you complete any ten challenge requirements during the game period.
    • Entries must be the direct work and participation of each individual contestant.
    • International and out-of-state students may enter the contest. If an international or out-of-state student is selected as a winner, they will receive a tuition payment equivalent to the in-state tuition rate above and will be responsible for paying the balance of their tuition cost.
