Hampton Hotels supports parents with “Cash for College”
The excitement of visiting college and university campuses just got a boost with Hampton Hotels’ “Cash for Colleges” contest to award families with funds for their college-bound children’s tuition. With tuition costs of four-year private universities up 5.9 percent from last year to $25,143 and at four-year public universities up 6.4 percent to $6,585*, as the mid-priced hotel leader, Hampton Hotels can be a valuable resource for parents and students visiting college and university campuses, either to select a school or visit their children after they’ve already chosen.
Now through December 7, 2009, while on the road picking the perfect
university, parents that book a stay online at a Hampton hotel, including
one of the following locations, at www.hampton.com/collegetours
automatically will be entered into the “Hampton’s Cash for College
Sweepstakes” to win one of two, $5,000 grand prizes, which can be applied
to the rising costs of college tuition.
