This will be the fourth of five scholarship drawings for youth who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The winners of the final drawing will be announced next week.

The funds will be placed in a College Invest account for the student to use when they pursue postsecondary education, including higher and technical education or credential programs. The funds can be left in the interest-bearing account for future educational use.

Under the Comeback Cash program, those 18 and older who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 are eligible for five drawings to win a $1 million cash prize. The final winner of that sweepstakes will be announced next week.
