Incoming or current undergrads, this one’s for you:
Next Thursday, April 23, Taco Bell is giving away four $25,000 college scholarships. Customers visiting the restaurant chain that day can pick up a card with a code (no purchase necessary), log on to www.tacobellgraduation.com, plug in the code and cross their fingers.
The company also will forward 15 percent of sales that day to the non-profit Taco Bell Foundation for Teens, which partners with such groups as the Boys and Girls Club of America. In 2009, the foundation is projected to donate $5 million, nearly double the $2.6 million of 2008, according to spokesman Mark Crouser.
