MI Student Aid Gives Students a Chance to Score Big on $5,000 for College
MI Student Aid and the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) have teamed up to launch a SuperFanHigh mobile app that will allow students, faculty, alumni, community members, and all fans to earn college scholarships totaling $5,000 by showing support for high school basketball.
To participate in the “Check-in Champ” contest, fans simply need to:
- Download the free “Battle of the Fans” app from the Apple iTunes or Google Play online stores.
- Choose their favorite high school team in the app.
- "Check in" at varsity girls and boys basketball games they are attending this season.
- Participants can only earn points at their "favorite school's" home or away games. (Team schedules are available in the app)
SuperFanHigh will track these check-ins and provide standings of fans who attend the most events statewide beginning Tuesday, January 10. Fans “checking in” accrue points toward prizes, including a total of $5,000 in college scholarships provided by MI Student Aid. Upon checking in through the app, the option will be provided to earn extra points by posting their check-in on Facebook and Twitter.
Schools will be divided by Class: A, B, C and D. A $3,000 scholarship will be awarded to the fan who earns the most points overall across all four classes, and $500 scholarships will be awarded to fans who earn the most points in each class. Only student fans will be eligible to use the college scholarships; however, fans who are not students may still compete for the scholarships and designate them for specific students should they win the contest. All fans, including those who are not students, will be able to earn app “badges” as they accrue points, and the top 100 point-getters will receive shirts printed to celebrate their accomplishment in the contest.
Official rules will be available on the MHSAA Website.
