Hi there,

Bucks for Books is Back!

I don’t know about you, but to me, it seems like summer left in the blink of an eye. With August here, it's almost time to head back to school. For my long time Young and Free followers, you know, with back to school comes Bucks for Books. That’s right, yesterday marked the first day of our Bucks for Books contest and we’re giving away cash for textbooks! Enter to win one of three prizes:

  • $500
  • $300
  • $200

Plus, if your school gets the most entries, you’ll be part of the Bonus Bucks Battle for an additional $500 prize! Check out my video for more details or click here to enter for your chance to win up to $500 today.

We’ve upgraded at Wayne State

If you’re a Wayne State University student, listen up! The new Michigan First branch inside of the student center will open mid-August. It will be equipped with ATMs, high-speed coin counters and staffed with knowledgeable, friendly team members eager to help you. If you’re in the student center this fall, don’t forget to stop by and say hello!

Before I wrap this E-Update up, I also wanted to let you know that I’ll be visiting a variety of colleges around metro Detroit and Grand Rapids for their back to school events. If you see me, make sure to say hi and tell everyone you know about Bucks for Books. With some focus and determination you can make this fall semester a great one!
