A taco and a college scholarship, please

How about a college education with your refried beans?

Taco Bell says it is giving away four $25,000 college scholarships to customers tomorrow. You’ll receive a code that you can enter at tacobellgraduation.com for a chance to win. No purchase required, but you must be age 13 or older to participate.

The fast-food chain says it also will donate 15 percent of its sales tomorrow to the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens, a nonprofit created to reduce the number of high school drop outs and help teens prepare for college.

Taco Bell says a study in March 2006 found that every 26 seconds a teen drops out of high school. And nearly one-third of teens in the country, and up to half of Latinos and African Americans, won't graduate with their class.
