Capture the Storm: SOS Provides Creative Way to Earn Scholarships

October 01, 2012

A new video contest – Capture the Storm: SOS (Support our Students) – lets students flex their creativity to compete for $2,500 or more in scholarship money. Students who participate will be creating and submitting short videos explaining how the donations of alumni and friends directly benefit them.

Once the videos are submitted, all members of the St. John's community – alumni, friends, parents, faculty, administrators and students – will be able to vote for their favorite video. It costs $5 to vote (allowing you to vote up to five times that day), and your $5 will be added to the total scholarship prize. The voting period will begin on January 15, and we'll be sure to remind you as that date gets closer.

This contest is a fun way to show off the talent of our students and provide a substantial scholarship in the process, but awareness and promotion is critical to its success. Be sure to encourage students to enter Capture the Storm: SOS, and you can learn more about the contest here.
