Terms and Campus Essentials Grant Rules

Effective July 29, 2026

No purchase necessary. A purchase, application, partner visit, or payment will not increase the odds of selection.

Program and award

StudentFinance.me offers one $500 Campus Essentials Grant awarded biweekly. Each entry period lasts 14 days. The award is intended for education or campus essentials, but no purchase from an advertiser is required.

Eligibility

Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old and enrolled, or expect to enroll within 12 months, at an accredited postsecondary institution. Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of the sponsor are not eligible. Void where prohibited.

How to enter

Complete the Student Money Fit Check with accurate information during an open entry period. Limit one entry per person per entry period. Automated, duplicate, incomplete, or fraudulent entries are void.

Selection and odds

After each entry period, one potential recipient will be selected at random from all eligible entries received for that period. Odds depend on the number of eligible entries. The potential recipient must respond within seven days and may be required to confirm identity, eligibility, and enrollment. If verification fails, an alternate may be selected.

Award delivery and taxes

The $500 Campus Essentials Grant will be delivered by a method chosen by the sponsor. The recipient is responsible for any taxes and for providing information reasonably required for delivery or tax reporting. The award is nontransferable except at the sponsor's discretion.

General conditions

The sponsor may disqualify entries that interfere with operation, violate these terms, or attempt to gain an unfair advantage. If fraud, technical failure, or circumstances beyond reasonable control impair the program, the sponsor may suspend, modify, or terminate an entry period and select a recipient from eligible entries already received.

Website and partner content

StudentFinance.me provides general educational information, not legal, tax, or individualized financial advice. Partner product details may change and should be confirmed directly with the provider. We may receive compensation from advertising partners.
