You read that right, Leeds' favourite Mexican spot is bankrolling a student for an entire year.
It seems that Boojum not only make incredible burritos and burrito bowls, but they're also good at being super, super generous and handing out cash apparently.
And that's because they're offering to bankroll one lucky student for an entire year.
The prize is a guaranteed £500 every single month for 12 months (a whopping 6,000 in total) plus free Boojum for a year.

And there really is no strings attached. The cash will land straight in the winner’s bank account to spend however they like, whether it’s booking a holiday, covering rent or buying a round of shots for their entire year group at the student union.
It's safe to say that after opening on the corner of Merrion Street and Woodhouse Lane in Leeds last year, Boojum has gained a real cult following so this is a perfect way of saying thank you.
The competition is open to all Leeds students, and you've got until Sunday 5 October to enter.

David Maxwell, CEO of Boojum, commented: “University life is tough on the wallet and students have always been at the heart of Boojum. We wanted to do something meaningful to support them this year, and Bankrolled by Boojum is the result.
"£500 a month plus free burritos for 12 months will set the lucky winner up for an unforgettable year, with Boojum fuel to keep them going.”
Alongside the coveted prize, Boojum will also be randomly selecting a winner every day of Freshers to bag a £50 gift card, students just need to have a Boojum app account and they’ll be automatically entered.
It really is a win, win situation.
To enter, all you have to do is follow the instructions on the Boojum website. Good luck!
