The WKU Office of Admissions and WKU Marketing and Communications announced a scholarship contest Monday.

According to an email from Dr. Jace Lux, director of recruitment and admissions, the contest consists of photos and videos of places on the Hill special to the individual. These include students’ dorm rooms, favorite spots on campus, campus organizations, school spirit and favorite class projects. The winner will receive a one-time $100 scholarship.

“We are looking for photos and videos to share on Instagram to show prospective students why The Hill is such a special place,” Lux said in his email.

The Herald is hiring for Spring 2024.
