Help students win $10,000 for RSVP and for Rice

The Rice Student Volunteer Program (RSVP), Rice’s largest undergraduate service organization, needs your support on Facebook to help the program win money and Zipcar driving credits.

The Rice Student Volunteer Program, Rice’s largest undergraduate service organization, needs your support on Facebook to help the program win money and Zipcar driving credits.

Last year, RSVP won $5,500 from “Students with Drive,” a grant program administered by Zipcar Inc. and the Ford Motor Co. Now the organization is in the running for the grand prize of this year’s program. RSVP could potentially win $5,000 in Zipcar driving credit, $10,000 for RSVP and another $10,000 for Rice.

RSVP promotes community service in various ways, including providing support to campus-based student service groups and informing students about local, national, and international social service opportunities.

The “Students with Drive” program recognizes applicants in five different categories — academics, arts, athletics, student life and community service. Winners are chosen through Facebook based on the number of “likes.”

To vote, visit http://apps.facebook.com/students-with-drive. Then “like” ZipcarU and vote for Rice’s RSVP. Voting ends at midnight April 18.
