Boojum’s burritos and scholarship giveaway for freshers

Boojum is giving away thousands of burritos for Freshers Week in Belfast with a £5k scholarship also up for grabs.

The Mexican favoutrite is rewarding cash-strapped students with its ‘Buy One Bank One’ promotion, anyone with a valid student ID to buy a meal in store – and save a free feed for a later date.

More than 4,000 vouchers are expected to be distributed on the day of promotion, Thursday, September 22, across all four of its Belfast restaurants.

A spokesperson said: “Not one to do things by halves, Boojum will also be helping one lucky student fund their studies with a £5,000 giveaway and free burritos for a year – meaning the winner will spend their next academic year well-funded and fully fuelled.

“In its biggest Fresher’s giveaway to date, Boojum’s new ‘Fund Your Studies’ campaign aims to help one student alleviate the mounting costs of student life in Ireland.

“With weekly food bills increasing, sky-high rents, tuition fees and more, the disruptive Mexican food chain is hopeful the £5,000 prize fund will make an impact of the winner’s university life and alleviate some financial pressure.”

Managing director David Maxwell added: “What better way to reward them for choosing us, than offering them another free burrito to bank?

“Life at university can be financially challenging at the best of times but this year especially with inflation soaring, students will really be feeling the pinch.

“With that in mind we wanted to build on our previously successful Fresher’s week campaigns and also offer a student the chance to have us fund their studies for a year.”
