Students #SucceedWithChegg

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Since finals are stressful and money is tight, Chegg, the academic hub, is setting students up for success by providing even more value beyond the classroom.  Starting this week, Chegg is giving exclusive access to free study tools and tutorials, more money back on textbooks, a chance to win a private campus concert, and a once in a lifetime trip to Africa.

Chegg is helping students:

Study Smarter – Chegg is hosting the first-ever Chegg Study Week to help students prepare for finals.  From 8pm - 12am ET Monday, April 30th through Friday, May 4th, students can go to Chegg to watch live tutoring webcasts and download free study guides on a variety of topics from subject matter experts.  For more information, go to www.cheggstudyweek.com.

Make Money – Starting this week through August, students will have the opportunity to make extra cash for summer by selling their textbooks back to Chegg.  Through Chegg Buyback, students also have a chance to win a private concert on their campus from a music artist of the school's choice.  Chegg will travel to over 20 campuses nationwide offering students the chance to sell their textbooks on the spot with the option to get cash instantly.  For more details and official rules, go to http://che.gg/buybackvideo.

Intern Abroad – Today, eight students were chosen from over 5,000 college and university applicants nationwide to go on a once in a lifetime trip to Zambia and South Africa as a part of the "Are you the ONE?" campaign.  On the trip, students will meet with key community and government leaders to discuss poverty issues facing these countries and learn how they can be a catalyst for change on their campus back home.  The campaign, led by Chegg for Good and antipoverty organization, ONE, received over 150,000 visitors.  For more information on the winners, visit Chegg's Facebook page.
