FROM STAFF AND NEWS SOURCES
CHENEY — Eastern Washington University student Erin Conroy is the winner of a full-year tuition waiver as part of the university’s EaglesVaxUp incentive program. Conroy is junior from West Seattle and is a pre-nursing major.
According to a news release, her waiver’s value is almost $6,900, the cost of three full quarters ($2,299 per quarter) during the 2021-22 academic year.
Conroy’s name was drawn from among a pool of students who have successfully uploaded their vaccination information to Med+Proctor, which is a requirement to be eligible for the drawings.
During the month of July, EWU also drew weekly student winners for one of ten $1,000 scholarships made available through the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC).
In June, interim President May announced a vaccine requirement for all students, faculty and staff at Eastern. It is being implemented in accordance with the university’s policy on immunizations and includes exemptions for religious or medical reasons.
The EagsVaxUp drawings for students, as well as for faculty and staff, will continue into December, with winners receiving parking passes, EWU Athletics gear, Theatre production tickets and an iPad Pro.
