Blugolds play to win
To help UWEC reach a goal of having 70% of all Blugolds vaccinated, UWEC students who have received the COVID-19 vaccine are now eligible to win scholarships and prizes in the Vax Game 2021 giveaway. Prizes include Apple iPads, Apple Watches, $100 gift cards and 50 $1,000 scholarships. To be eligible for the giveaway, simply upload a copy of your vaccination record through the Vaccination Upload eForm.
Students enrolled at all three campuses in Eau Claire, Rice Lake and Marshfield are eligible. Weekly prize-winners will be selected at random, and winners will be contacted via email with instructions on how to collect their prize.

Vax Game 2021 prizes
A total of $40,000 in prizes including Apple iPads, Apple Watches and $100 gift cards will be given away during the Vax Game 2021 giveaway. UW-Eau Claire will also award $200 to each student organization that has 70% of its members vaccinated. Once 70% of all UWEC students have uploaded their vaccination eForm, vaccinated students will also be eligible to win one of the 50 grand prizes, a $1,000 scholarship for the spring 2022 semester.
All vaccinated students will also be eligible to participate in UW System’s “70 for 70” campaign this fall, which includes 70 scholarships valued at $7,000 each. Vaccinated students at universities that reach the 70% vaccination rate will be eligible to win. Students at all UW System universities except UW-Madison are eligible for the drawing.
