The Dangers of Distracted Driving Scholarship

 

Distracted Driving Awareness Scholarship Money Now Doubled!

(The deadline for submissions has been extended)

 

(Winston-Salem, NC) In recognition of April as “Distracted Driving Month”, Alliance Insurance Services will be awarding money for college to three students who produce the best videos on the dangers of distracted driving.

“This is the fourth year we’ve offered scholarships, but this year the funding levels are doubled, thanks to the generosity of Dr. Candice Fix, owner of Magnolia Eye Care, who contributed matching amounts based on last year’s totals,” said Christopher Cook, owner of Alliance Insurance Services.

“We support this scholarship program because just like Christopher, we too have experienced a personal loss due to a distracted driver,” said Dr. Fix.

“We want to educate young people by offering scholarships, but also by getting them involved with raising awareness about the tragedy of distracted driving,” said Cook. " If any other business else wants to match our scholarships or increase them call the office and let us know!"

Competition for the scholarship money is open to any North Carolina student planning to enroll in a community college or university this fall.  The video can be up to three minutes in length and must be submitted by April 15.

 2024 scholarship amounts (including private matching) are as follows: 

First place       $3,500

Second place $ 1,800

Third place         $700

 

Video submissions should be emailed to Pam Cook at pcookk@aol.com.

  Winners will be announced during the end of April.
