As a key player in the industry, Staples releases a sizable back-to-school promotion that does not only offer consumers discounted supplies. Instead, the megastore gives an incentive to those who inevitably have to shop for the upcoming school year. By spending $25 USD at any Staples location, consumers are eligible to enter a raffle with the 16-digit code on their receipt. The opportunity is designed to support endeavors in post-secondary education.
Given the average length of the student supply shopping list, it won't be hard for individuals to meet the necessary requirement to enter in Staple's back-to-school promotion. The megastore offers a grand prize of $50,000 USD to go toward higher education. The remaining four scholarships are half that amount. However, even the secondary monetary prizes will offer substantial support to first-year students.
