The Harbor Official Rules

The Harbor Scholarship

Three versions of the copy

Your September 23 markup, applied to all three. Same offer, same brand, three different arguments. The pitch says free rent. The value, the GPA waiver, the taxes and the screening detail sit in the fine print at the bottom. Open them on your phone and pick one.

Version 1

The Catch First

We'll pay your rent for a year. There's a catch.

The catch goes first. A student at 11pm and a parent on a laptop are both scanning for the trick, so I hand it over in the headline: the rent is rent here. Everything after that gets believed. Plain facts do the persuading, the tone stays flat, and the legal line sounds like a person wrote it.

Version 2

The Reason Why

We are paying four students' rent for a whole year

A letter from somebody who works here, not a brand page. The engine is the reason why: that money would have gone to ads nobody reads. The student believes a human. The parent believes a human who states the odds in numerals and puts the lease requirement in plain sight instead of burying it.

Version 3

The Sealed List

Four students. Twelve months of rent. Drawn on camera.

Scam suspicion dies under specifics. The page reports procedure. Folded slips, a drawer who is not on leasing staff, a sealed list, odds as arithmetic. The student is written to like an adult. The parent gets an address and the live here rule stated early.

Award value, settled 2026-09-24

4 bedroom rent runs $700 to $769 a bed per month, so each award is $8,400 to $9,228 and all four are $33,600 to $36,912. That range sits in the fine print, the legal box, the footer and the Official Rules, and nowhere in the pitch.

What is the same in all three
