A nursing student at South Dakota State University made the winning bid of $18,669.99 in an Internet auction for a year of tuition, room and board at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
Candace Blain, a sophomore, plans to give the prize to her younger sister, Chelsea, a high school senior, but also plans to go to Oklahoma Wesleyan next year.
The small evangelical college in Bartlesville placed the eBay offer, valued at $23,000, to allow someone to attend the school who otherwise couldn't afford it and to gain publicity.
Interesting way for a school to get publicity.
