Ohio Christian University (OCU) is pleased to announce an ongoing Refer-A-Friend Program where individuals can invite a friend to learn more about OCU. A monthly drawing for referrers and a scholarship for prospective students make this an excellent opportunity to refer a friend.
The referrer should enter his or her friend’s information at ohiochristian.edu/referafriend. This will automatically qualify the referrer to enter that month’s drawing for a $50 e-gift card of the winner’s choice and qualify the referred student for a Refer-A-Friend Scholarship.
Program Details:
- A $50 e-gift card drawing will occur at the end of every month to pick a winner from those who submitted referrals during that month. The winner will be emailed individually and announced via a campus-wide email.
- Referrals may be made at any time within the year, and there is no limit to the number of referrals a person can submit.
- If the referred person is already in our system, the referrer will earn 1 entry into the drawing. If not, the referrer will earn 5 entries.
- If the referred person is already signed up for an Orientation Day or registered for classes, the referrer will not earn an entry into the drawing and the referred person will not quality for the Refer-A-Friend Scholarship.
