Forest Lake Area High School students Hailey Moore and Heather Sauve received a $2,500 and $1,000 scholarship, respectively, for competing in a Twitter contest run by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Minnesota State University Moorhead on March 22. The contest was open to any incoming student or transfer student that will be attending MSUM in the fall.
Both students had to send a Tweet to @AdmissionsMSUM stating why they want to #BeADragon, including the hashtag. The tweet had to show off some creativity using photos, videos, and anything else that was allowed within the 140-character limit. Four students were selected by a committee of faculty and staff based on the quality of their tweet for a $2,500 scholarship. Two students were selected for a $1,000 scholarship based on who had the most likes and whose tweet had the most retweets.
