Owens Community College and three Clear Channel radio stations are partnering in a contest to award a
free college education to four area residents, with two winners receiving the grand prize of two
semesters of free Owens tuition.
92.5 KISS-FM, 104.7 WIOT and 103.7 CKY will begin airing promotional announcements for the contest on
Monday.
Individuals can enter the contest by logging onto any of four Web sites – www.owens.edu,
www.925kissfm.com, www.wiot.com or www.1037wcky.com – clicking on the "Tuition is Right" and
correctly answering three questions. Applicants also can enter by completing a paper entry form
available at the Enrollment Services Office on the Owens Oregon Road campus in Perrysburg Township, at
the information desk on the Findlay-area campus or the reception desk at the Owens Learning Center at
The Source in downtown Toledo. All entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. Aug. 2.
All qualifying entrants will be eligible to attend the first final on Aug. 5 at 3 p.m. at the Community
Education and Wellness Center on the Owens Findlay-area campus. One grand prize of two semesters of free
tuition and one runner-up prize of one semester of free tuition will be awarded by random draw.
All qualifying entrants who do not win a tuition prize Aug. 5 are eligible to attend the second final on
Aug. 6 at 3 p.m. at the Student Health and Activities Center on the Perrysburg Township campus. The
second grand prize of two semesters of free tuition and final runner-up prize of one semester of free
tuition also will be awarded by random draw.
Also at the finals, other valuable prizes – such as free food for a year from SONIC, America’s Drive-In;
free rent for a year from Owens Lake Commons; free airfare from Jet America Airlines and more – will be
drawn and awarded at random as well.
The contest is open to residents 16 years of age or older. This marks the ninth occasion since 2003 that
Owens has partnered with Northwest Ohio media and offered a tuition contest.
