The Jiffy Lube “What Drives You?” Scholarship Program, has been created to give a unique and early opportunity for high school students to gain funding for college or other qualified technical and/or professional programs through a scholarship award sponsored by neighborhood Jiffy Lube owners. Jiffy Lube wants to learn more about what drives these students now and where they see themselves down the road. Jiffy Lube wants students to express “What Drives You?” in 500 words or less!
The “What Drives You?” Scholarship opportunity offers specific scholarships to students in driver education, and offers scholarship awards to every teen driver enrolled in high school to pursue. The scholarship awards will not be based on a student’s GPA or other standard qualifying criteria, rather each individual will be allowed to express his/her “inner drive” and personal ambition — his/her chance to be behind the wheel.
What are the scholarship awards?
Eight (8) total “What Drives You?” scholarships:
- 2 Overall Winners of $6,500 each
- 3 Finalist Awards of $1,500 each Driver’s Ed Category
