UNT to award scholarship for 12 credit hours with Family Weekend drawing

The stakes have been raised for the 2003 UNT Family Weekend, Sept. 26-28. During this year's event, UNT's Parent Association and the North Texas Exes will be hosting the "UNT Tuition Draw." The winner — who must be a currently enrolled student — receives a scholarship for 12 credit hours in the spring semester of 2004, currently a $1,810 value.

Tickets were sold at New Student Orientation and will be sold at Family Weekend activities. The tickets are $5 each, or five tickets for $20. Proceeds from the contest will benefit the Parent Association and UNT scholarships.

Administrators will draw the winning ticket at the UNT vs. University of Louisiana-Lafayette football game Sept. 27. Those who have entered the contest do not have to be present to win.

In addition to the drawing, UNT Family Weekend will include food, fun and entertainment for the visitors of current students during the school's largest family-oriented event of the year. Activities include a screening of X-Men 2, a chili cook-off, a carnival, a tailgating party before the football game, and an Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building open house.

Registration and pricing information for the UNT 2003 Family Weekend is available in the student development office at (940) 565-4909.
