The Crusader Scholarship Challenge 2014-2015

During the 2014-2015 academic year, Valpo Athletics will embark on a challenge unlike any other in Valparaiso University history. We will set out to find – and handsomely reward – our most loyal and passionate athletic fans. The competition will be fierce, and the payout unprecedented:

* One academic year of tuition completely FREE ($33,680 value),

* One academic year of free housing ($6,200 value), or

* One academic year of free meals ($3,980 value).

The Crusader Scholarship Challenge will kick off with the first home event in August and wraps up at the end of April 2015.

“We are proud that academics and athletics go hand-in-hand here at Valpo. The student body brings great energy to all our events. This is a great opportunity to recognize that contribution while supporting students’ academic pursuits,” Director of Athletics Mark LaBarbera said.

Participation is easy. First, become eligible when you register at ValpoRewards.com. Second, attend as many Valpo Home sporting events as possible. A check-in code will be provided at each home event.  Redeem the code at ValpoRewards.com to earn your points. If you’re unable to attend a game or match, you can earn the lost points through Valpo’s weekly online challenges. (More points are earned by attending gameday, so attendance will be important!) Other events, such as bus trips to road games and alumni events, will allow participants to earn DOUBLE points.

Not a student at Valparaiso University? You are still encouraged to participate. Prize winners can designate their winnings to another if they choose. Current college seniors can even apply their prize toward graduate school in 2015-2016. The Crusader Scholarship Challenge is open to all fans, students, and alumni; although benefitted Valparaiso University employees are not eligible. 

The Crusader Scholarship Challenge will run parallel with regular Valpo Rewards promotions; fans are still eligible to purchase store items and win semester grand prizes.

It’s time we reward you, the fan, for your support of the Crusaders. Visit ValpoRewards.com today for more details and to register. Go Valpo!
