illegible entries and all such entries shall be ineligible.
Released Parties are also not responsible for incomplete, lost,

miscommunications, computer or software malfunctions or telephone
transmission problems, telephone lines or other telephone problems,
technical failures, garbled transmissions, damage to a user's
computer equipment (software or hardware), the cancellation or
postponement of any course, or other errors or malfunctions of any
kind whether human, mechanical, electronic, printing, typographical
or otherwise relating to or in connection with the courses,
including, without limitation, errors or problems relating to or in
connection with the administration of the courses, the processing
of entries, the announcement of the prize, courses or drawing forms
or in any other drawing related materials. Other than as
specifically permitted in these rules, downloaded, mechanically or
otherwise duplicate student accounts will not be accepted and all
such accounts will be void.
3. WINNER SELECTION: Winners will be selected monthly by NSLP in a
random drawing conducted monthly from December 2009 through June
2010 from among all eligible students. At NSLP’s election, if the
winner is a minor, he or she may be required to secure the
acknowledgment and consent from such minor’s parent(s) before the
funds are awarded. By participating, student (or, if eligible
minors, their parents or legal guardians) agree to be bound by
these Official Rules and to the decisions of the Sponsor, which
will be final and binding in all respects. Potential winners, or a
parent or legal guardian of winner who is an eligible minor, will
be notified in person or by e-mail, regular mail or telephone. If
potential winner, or a parent or legal guardian of a winner who is
an eligible minor, cannot be reached within five (5) business days
of date of the first attempted notification, then the prize will be
forfeited in its entirety and, at Sponsor’s discretion, awarded to
an alternate winner. Potential winners, or a parent or legal
guardian of winner who is an eligible minor, will be required to
complete, sign, and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, and a
Consent and Release Form, all of which must be received by Sponsor
or its designated agent within 14 business days of date of issuance
of notification. If all required documentation is not returned
within the stated time, or is undeliverable, or if a potential
winner is otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules,
prize will be forfeited in its entirety and, at Sponsor’s
discretion, awarded to an alternate winner.
4. PRIZES: EducationQuest Foundation will manage the escrow and
disbursement of all scholarship funds on behalf of National Student
Loan Program. Winners will each receive $500 awarded in a lump sum
check made payable to student and to the college or university. The
student’s enrollment at the college or university will be verified
by EducationQuest before the funds are released. Odds of winning
will depend on the total number of eligible entries. No transfer,
assignment or substitution of prize except by Sponsor who reserves
the right to substitute prize of comparable or greater value as
determined by Sponsor. All federal, state and local taxes on prize,
if any and any costs and expenses associated with prize acceptance
and use not specifically included in the prize description herein,
are the responsibility of the individual winners.
5. MISCELLANEOUS: All online entries must include a valid e-mail
address. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an
entrant, entry will be awarded to the person named on the student
account (regardless of whether that is the name of the authorized
account holder of the e-mail address from which said student
account was submitted). Any attempt by an entrant to deliberately
damage any web site or undermine the legitimate operation of
drawings is a violation of criminal and/or civil laws and should
such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify
entrant (and void all associated accounts) and seek damages and
other remedies to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void suspect
students or to modify, cancel or suspend the drawings should virus,
bugs, non-authorized human intervention or any other causes corrupt
or impair the administration, security, fairness or proper play of
the drawings. In any such event, Sponsor will select winners from
among all eligible non-suspect students received. Sponsor reserves
the right to invalidate any and all entries of a student which
Sponsor, in its sole discretion, determines to be in violation of
these Official Rules or any and all entries of a student who
Sponsor determines has engaged in any act or activity which
corrupts or impairs the administration, security, fairness or
proper play of the drawings or who is otherwise in violation of
these Official Rules. Students (and parents/legal guardians of
minor students) agree to: 1) Sponsor’s use of students’ name,
voice, biography, likeness and other indicia by Sponsor and its
designees in any medium now or hereafter known worldwide in
perpetuity without further notice, consideration or compensation
for marketing, promotion, advertising, filing and dissemination
purposes, except where prohibited by law; and 2) indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Released Parties from any and all liability,
claims, law suits, costs, expenses, fees, losses, injuries or
damages to students or any other person or entity, including
personal injury, death or damage to personal or real property,
arising directly or indirectly from the acceptance, possession, use
or misuse of the prize, participation in the drawings and/or from
student’s fraudulent or wrongful acts or omissions and 3) not sue
Released Parties for any damages arising from winner’s acceptance
of or use of the Prize. Sponsor shall have the sole right to
disqualify any students for violation of these rules or any
applicable laws relating to the sweepstakes, and to resolve all
disputes in its sole discretion. For student athletes enrolled or
enrolling in NCAA member institutions, NCAA regulations governing
financial aid from outside sources and other NCAA rules apply.
