Tulsa area High School Students Receive Scholarship Awards from Jiffy Lube

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

Grace Lam of Union High School is the overall scholarship recipient and will receive a $4,000 scholarship award on behalf of Jiffy Lube. Andrew Isaac of Jenks High and Jacob Parks of Broken Arrow Freshman Academy will each be awarded $1,000 as runners-up.

The "What Drives You?" scholarship program is open to all high school students in the greater Tulsa, Bixby, Broken Arrow, & Glenpool areas.

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 Tulsa area high school with the most student applicants. For the 2019-2020 school year, Union High School submitted the most essays.
