The “What Drives You?” scholarship program funded by
New Mexico Jiffy Lube owners has awarded $8,000 in scholarships to three New
Mexico high school students for the 2018-2019 school year.
Jorge Marquez Chavez of Centennial High School is
the overall scholarship recipient and will receive a $5,000 scholarship award
on behalf of Jiffy Lube. Lucas Sandoval of Sandia Prep High School will be
awarded $1,500 as a runner-up. Adam Rounsville of V. Sue Cleveland High School
will also receive $1,500.
The “What Drives You?” scholarship program is open
to all teen drivers as well as students enrolled in drivers ed in New Mexico.
Students are asked to submit a 500-word essay
detailing what drives them now, as an
opportunity to express their inner drive and ambitions. Finalists are selected based on their essay
submission. Finalists are then required to submit a short 1-2 minute video that
expands on the essay they submitted and then the overall winner is selected.
Jorge’s drive is to study physics and discover new
possibilities and applications to help better the world. Lucas’s drive is to study photography and
marketing and inspire positive change in the art community. Adam’s drive is to study business and
technology and bring positive change to the world.
The scholarships are open to all students currently
enrolled in high school regardless of test scores or grades.
Amy Biehl High School will receive $500 for submitting
the most essays for the 2018-2019 school year as part of the Jiffy Lube “What Drives
You?” Scholarship Program.
Scholarship
money will go directly towards secondary education, in the form of college or
other qualified technical or professional program chosen by each winning
student.
