Treasure Valley High School Students Receive Scholarship Awards from Jiffy Lube

TWIN FALLS, Idaho - May 22, 2020 - PRLog -- The "What Drives You?" scholarship program funded by Treasure Valley area Jiffy Lube owners has awarded $6,000 in scholarships to three Treasure Valley high school students for the 2019-2020 school year.

Teagan Perryman of Skyview High School is the overall scholarship recipient and will receive a $4,000 scholarship award on behalf of Jiffy Lube. Ciara Kelly of Timberline High and Synovia Bates of Columbia High will each be awarded $1,000 as runners-up.

The "What Drives You?" scholarship program is open to all teen drivers as well as students enrolled in drivers ed in the Treasure Valley area high schools.

Jiffy Lube's local owners understand how important it is for communities to come together during this time. Jiffy Lube is now accepting essays for the 2020-2021 school year, and has added an additional $1,000 scholarship award as an added incentive and support for students.

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.

The scholarships are open to all students currently enrolled in high school regardless of test scores or grades.

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.

Jiffy Lube will also donate $500 to the Treasure Valley high school with the most student applicants. For the 2019-2020 school year, Borah High School submitted the most essays.
