The Terry Bryant Scholarship is an opportunity for high school seniors to better their communities while vying for a $2,500 scholarship. The program is open to all U.S. high school seniors planning on seeking a degree at an accredited four-year university.
“Teenage drivers have the highest rate of vehicle accidents in the nation,” states Bryant. “By highlighting the effects of distracted driving to their community, we hope students around the nation will join us in working to prevent teenage driving injuries and fatalities.”
All applicants must include these materials with their entry:
- An application for entry that is filled out in legible print or typed
- A recent photo of the applicant – attached to the application
- A video, written essay, or PowerPoint presentation that addresses the dangers of drunk driving, underage drinking, or distracted driving and how to prevent them
- A high school transcript (either unofficial or official) that includes the student’s class rank and size
- SAT or ACT scores
- At least two letters of recommendation that discuss the applicant’s achievements, academic potential, and involvement in their school and community. Letters of recommendation may be written by teachers, academic advisors, employers, coaches, school administrators, family friends or religious leaders.
A committee of judges will evaluate each entrant based on the quality of their presentation, their academic achievement and potential, their community and school involvement, and any volunteer work they have performed.
The winning entrant will receive a $2,500 scholarship disbursed in a single installment to help pay for the student’s first year of college.
“This scholarship represents more than just an investment in a promising student’s education, says Bryant. “It represents a commitment to our youth and to protecting our teenagers from dangerous driving.”
