The Jiffy Lube "What Drives You?" High School Scholarship Program is a unique opportunity to pursue your interests, goals and ideas. This unique scholarship program allows local high school students the chance to express their “inner drive” and personal ambitions by simply writing a 500 word or less essay on “What Drives You?” No other requirements!

Three finalists ($1,500 award, each) and overall winner ($5,000 award) will be selected from the 500 word “What Drives You?” essays.  Each finalist will be required to also submit a unique 1-2 minute video that expands on their essay in their own candid words, visuals, etc. 

Visit yourturn2apply.com for additional information and check in soon for next school year's program information and deadline.
 
Back in 2007, local New Mexico Jiffy Lube owners generously sponsored a unique video and scholarship opportunity to all New Mexico high school driver education students - the "your turn behind the wheel" program.  The program then expanded to include all New Mexico high school students with the opportunity to simply express their goals and passions with a 500 word essay on "What Drives You?"  

Over the past 14 years, thousands of students have been motivated by this question to submit their essays.  A total of $70,500 in scholarships has been awarded to 35 New Mexico high school students and $7,000 donated to 14 schools for submitting the most essays per region.
