VillageSoup announces annual UMaine tuition raffle
VillageSoup announced the University of Maine Alumni Association has launched its annual tuition raffle, which will pay at least $8,790 (the equivalent of 30 credit hours at the in-state undergraduate tuition rate) to cover the recipient’s tuition at the University of Maine for the 2019–20 academic year. Anyone 18 years of age or older can participate in the raffle and designate a UMaine student to receive the prize. The Alumni Association suggests a $5 donation per ticket, and net proceeds from the raffle will go toward supporting the organization’s programs on behalf of students and alumni, the article states. Mailed tickets must be postmarked no later than May 1, and tickets may be hand-delivered to the Buchanan Alumni House until 4:30 p.m. May 6. The drawing will be held at noon May 7 and will be streamed live on Facebook. More information is available online or by calling Erica Sturrock, 581.1138. WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) also advanced the raffle.
