Utah High School Students Receive Scholarship Awards from Jiffy Lube

SALT LAKE CITY - May 23, 2020 - PRLog -- The "What Drives You?" scholarship program funded by Utah Jiffy Lube owners has awarded $19,000 in scholarship money to six Utah high school students for the 2019-2020 school year.

Taylor Fang of Logan High School is the overall scholarship recipient in the Teen Driver category and will receive a $6,500 scholarship award on behalf of Jiffy Lube.  Isabelle Barlow of Bountiful High and Amelia Nelson of Brighton High will each be awarded $1,500 as finalists in the Teen Driver category, which includes all high school students of driving age.

In the Driver's Ed student category, Matthew Argyle of Timpview High School is the overall scholarship recipient and will receive a $6,500 scholarship award on behalf of Jiffy Lube.  Madeline Laypath of Layton High and Tristen Sorenson of Box Elder High will each be awarded $1,500 as finalists in the Driver's Ed category.

Since 2004, Jiffy Lube has awarded more than $211,000 in scholarships to 94 Utah high school students.

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 $1,500 scholarship award to the Teen Driver category 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.
