The city announced the scholarship raffle May 3, which is open to fully vaccinated students ages 16 to 18. One grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship, a second prize winner will get a $5,000 scholarship and 20 winners will receive a $50 gift card.
Students can enter the raffle by posting a photo about their vaccination status on social media with the hashtags “#10kVaxChallenge” and “#VaccinateLancaster.” The money will come from the city’s scholarship fund, and the deadline to apply is June 30.
Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris told ABC News there’s been a jump in vaccine appointments among teenagers since launching the raffle.
Lancaster sits in Los Angeles County, which saw COVID-19 vaccinations fall 56 percent in the week ending April 25. Countywide, about 15.8 percent of residents ages 16 to 29 had received at least one dose as of April 23, the date of the most recent data available.
