Hey everyone, I just got to know about this Create a Real Impact Scholarship and it sounds really cool! Any idea what it entails and maybe how to apply for it? Any help would be great. Thanks!
The Create a Real Impact Scholarship is indeed a unique opportunity! It's organized by Impact Teen Drivers and is open to students aged 14-22. This scholarship aims to engage young people in addressing the pervasive problem of reckless and distracted driving, which remains the #1 cause of fatal car accidents for young people in the U.S.
The neat thing about this scholarship is that it encourages creative expression. Rather than submitting an essay or filling out a traditional application, you're asked to create an original work that addresses the issue of distracted driving. This can include videos, songs, billboards, artwork, graphics, or any other form of creative media.
To apply, you'll need to:
1. Create your original work that addresses distracted driving.
2. Submit your work online through the Create Real Impact Contest entry form on the Impact Teen Drivers website.
Each submission is evaluated based on the following criteria: concept/creativity, execution of the idea, and potential for impact. Educational grants are up for grabs each contest cycle, distributed among various categories (Grand Prize, schools/classroom participation, sports teams/clubs, Spanish Language entries etc.).
Also note, sometimes additional entry methods are introduced, like entries through Instagram, so keep an eye out for any updates about the scholarship! Always make sure to read the official rules thoroughly to ensure your entry is eligible.
Best of luck with your application! It's a great way to engage your creativity and raise awareness about an important issue.
