The California State Student Association is sponsoring an online contest that gives students an opportunity to win a semester's free tuition and other prizes.

CSU students statewide are eligible to participate. Contestants can enter by visiting the California State Student Association Web site at www.csustudents.org.

The CSSA is sponsoring the contest to educate HSU and other CSU students about student government issues affecting higher education.

In addition to one semester of free tuition, prizes include textbook grants and semester and quarter parking permits.

“We want to let students know that they have a voice and we, the CSSA and Associated Students, want to hear it,” said Manolo P. Platin, CSSA representative for Humboldt State 's Associated Students.
