Grit, Heart and Humility are Minnesota State University Moorhead’s core values and the university has initiated a competitive scholarship campaign to attract like-minded students. By creating a social media scholarship contest around the hashtag #BeADragon, the university is breaking new ground by capitalizing on MSUM’s quickly growing social media presence to introduce prospective students to the culture of the university.

Students have been quick to participate creating dozens of tweets within the first 24 hours of the program including, “I want to #BeADragon so I can attend a college with small class sizes and make my friends and family proud!” and “I want to #BeADragon to major in my dream career!
