Dylan Barron, a student at Blue Hills Regional Technical School, was awarded a $300,000 scholarship grant for getting his vaccine. He is going into his junior year and is studying automotive.
Barron says he is still exploring what school he will be attending after graduating.
Barron explained that he got vaccinated to keep his family, friends, himself, and anyone he comes in contact with safe.
There are still three more chances to win with drawings being held every Monday through Aug. 23.
