It's already happened once. A resourceful senior from Coronado High School in Lubbock earned the one-year free ride to Hardin Simmons University last May.

If $18,750 tor your education sounds good to you, then all it takes is a winning entry in the "Lights, Camera, Free Ride" scholarship competition!

All high school seniors graduating May 2009 are eligible for the contest. All you have to do is submit a 60 second video clip themed, "What would I do with my diploma from HSU!" You can mail, drop off your video submission, or post your video on YouTube.

Just make sure you check the rules and regs for the contest on the HSU Homepage.

Last year's winner was Raul "Anthony" Diaz, who is now an accounting major at HSU, who beat out 31 extremely creative videos from as far away as Kailua, Hawaii.

Diaz said he was shocked when his name was announced, "This is wonderful, I've always wanted to be able to make my own way, and this lets me get started on my degree without putting a burden on my parents."

"Anthony's video created a compelling atmosphere to show how he would make use of his diploma from HSU," said Leland Harden, HSU's Vice President for Institutional Advancement. "He displayed thought, focus, and wit in his presentation that made him stand above the rest."

"This is a great collaboration with KRBC TV and an awesome opportunity for high school students to contribute to the energetic atmosphere of our campus," says Amanda Etter, HSU marketing director. "Incoming students begin to feel connected, be a part of the creative environment that makes our University unique, and show us what they want to do with their degree. Above all, these students truly want to make an impact on the world, all with an education enlightened by faith."
