How it works

Nobody picks the winners.

No essay, no interview, no committee. Every entry gets a number, the numbers go in a container, and four come out.

Step 1

Enter free

Name, email, phone, school, and your GPA. About a minute. It costs nothing.

Step 2

Every entry gets a number

We remove duplicates, sort by the time each entry arrived, and number them 1 through N. We publish the total.

Step 3

Ten slips come out

Identical folded slips, one container, drawn blind on camera with two witnesses. First four win. Next six are alternates.

Step 4

Names come last

The list matching numbers to names stays sealed until all ten slips are out. Whoever draws cannot know whose number is whose.

Watch it happen

We pull the names
on a live stream.

The whole drawing goes out live so you can watch your number come out of the container in real time. We announce the stream on our Instagram and email every entrant the link before it starts.

Your odds

Four awards, divided by
however many people enter.

Tennessee requires us to publish the odds. They depend on turnout, so here is the formula. We publish the real entry count the day entry closes.

1 in 300
4 in 1,200 entries, or 0.333%
Odds of winning an award = 4 ÷ total eligible entries.
Odds of being drawn at all = 10 ÷ total eligible entries.
At 1,200 entries: 1 in 120 to be drawn as a winner or alternate.

You do not have to be a student to live here

The scholarship has requirements. The lease does not.

Winning never requires a photo

We may ask after the award is yours. No is a complete answer.

Official rules

The Harbor ScholarshipDraft · 2027–2028 award year
  1. No purchase necessary. No purchase, lease, application, deposit, tour, or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win. Buying or leasing does not improve your chance of winning.
  2. Sponsor. [ownership entity], 1109 University Pkwy, Johnson City, TN 37604. Yugo is the property manager and is not the sponsor.
  3. Entry period. Opens [open date] at 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern and closes [close date] at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern.
  4. Eligibility. Legal U.S. residents 18 or older who are enrolled in or accepted to an accredited college, university, community college, or technical school for the 2027–2028 academic year with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher. No particular school is required. Employees of the Sponsor and Yugo, and their households, are not eligible. Void in New York, Florida, Rhode Island, and where prohibited.
  5. Disability waiver. If a disability has affected your cumulative GPA, the Sponsor will waive the 2.5 requirement on request. Contact the leasing office before entry closes. The request does not affect your odds and the Sponsor will not ask for a diagnosis.
  6. How to enter. Complete the entry form on this page during the entry period. One entry per person. Duplicates matched by email and mobile number are removed and the earliest entry is kept. Automated or bulk entries are void.
  7. The award and its value. Four awards. Each award is twelve consecutive months of base rent for one bed at The Harbor for the 2027–2028 lease year, credited monthly to the winner's ledger, plus a separate cash payment to the winner intended to cover the federal income tax on the award. Approximate retail value of each award is $12,085 to $14,433 depending on floor plan. Total approximate retail value of all four awards is $50,428, up to $57,732 if every award is a two-bedroom apartment. All four awards will be awarded, provided at least four eligible entries are received and at least four drawn entrants complete verification. The award is not transferable and no substitution is offered, except that the Sponsor may substitute an award of equal or greater value.
  8. Odds. Odds of winning an award are 4 divided by the total number of eligible entries received. Odds of being drawn as a winner or alternate are 10 divided by the total number of eligible entries received. The Sponsor publishes the total number of eligible entries on this page the day entry closes.
  9. The drawing. After entry closes the Sponsor removes duplicates, sorts remaining eligible entries by the date and time received, and assigns each a number from 1 through N. The list matching numbers to entrants is sealed before the drawing. Each number is printed on an identical slip, folded identically, and placed in one container. A person who is not a member of the leasing staff draws ten slips one at a time without looking. Two witnesses observe, the drawing is recorded and streamed live, and the first four numbers drawn are the winners in order, followed by six alternates in order. The sealed list is opened only after all ten slips are drawn. The witnesses sign a record of the entry count, the ten numbers, and the date and time. The Sponsor retains the entry file, the signed record, and the recording for three years.
  10. Winner verification. Winners are verified after the drawing. Within ten calendar days of first notice each winner must provide proof of enrollment or acceptance and an official transcript, complete the Sponsor's standard resident screening on the same criteria applied to every applicant, execute a lease for the 2027–2028 lease year, and return a completed IRS Form W-9. A drawn entrant who does not meet these requirements, declines, or does not respond within ten calendar days forfeits, and the award passes to the next alternate. No second drawing will be held.
  11. Taxes. The award is taxable income and is not a qualified scholarship. The Sponsor issues IRS Form 1099 to each winner for the full value of the award including the cash tax payment. A completed Form W-9 is required before any portion of the award is paid or credited. Each winner is responsible for their own taxes.
  12. Name and likeness. Acceptance of an award is not conditioned on granting the Sponsor the right to use your name, photograph, likeness, or statements. The Sponsor may request permission after an award has been granted and you are free to decline with no effect on the award.
  13. Residency. Residency at The Harbor is not limited to students and does not require enrollment. These eligibility requirements apply to the drawing only and are not tenancy criteria. The Sponsor complies with the Fair Housing Act.
  14. Governing law. These rules are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, with exclusive jurisdiction in Washington County, Tennessee.
Gold dotted items are still open: the sponsor's legal entity name and the three dates.
