Workout 50 Times, Win Big with Owen’s Condition for Tuition!

Need extra cash for school? Let’s get physical! Owen’s Condition for Tuition returns starting the first day of the fall semester to help students pay for their tuition for the fourteenth year here at The Beach!

The Student Recreation & Wellness Center (SRWC) welcomes and encourages students of all ages and abilities to honor their bodies through physical activity. This means students can participate in weightlifting, yoga, Pilates, Zumba, personal training, running on the indoor track, swimming, climbing a rock wall, hanging out at Beach Balance and much more.

Now, with this new semester, every Long Beach State student can: 1) download the SRWC GO app, and 2) scan their barcode at the Owen’s check-out station after 30+ minutes of physical or wellness activity.

To qualify for this amazing opportunity, students must attend the SRWC at least 50 times during the academic year. However, participants can only accumulate points five times a week.

So, what’s the story behind this incredible initiative?

Joshua Owen, born and raised in Bixby Knolls, was a well-known figure in the truck industry and in Long Beach. He started the Owens Condition for Tuition Scholarship in 2011 to promote a healthy lifestyle. However, when he passed away in 2015 at the young age of 43, leaving behind two kids, the Owens family decided to create a new scholarship called the Josh Owens Memorial Scholarship for students in the supply chain industry.

To honor Owen’s legacy and his contributions to the local community, the SRWC continues to offer this scholarship to motivate students in need of financial help to lead healthier lives.

Last semester, the winner received a little over $4,000, while other participants had a chance to win raffle prizes such as a $50 Shell gas card, free food and fun opportunities to socialize with others.

So, if you’re planning to start or continue your fitness journey, and find a way to pay for school, Owen’s Condition for Tuition is a great place to start from day one of the fall semester! For more information and rules, please visit asirecreation.org/owens-condition-for-tuition.
