(Winston-Salem, NC) In recognition of April as “Distracted Driving Month,” Alliance Insurance Services will award college scholarships to the three students who produce the best videos on the dangers of distracted driving.
“This is the fifth year we’ve offered scholarships and this year the funding levels are doubled, thanks to the generosity of Dr. Candice Fix, owner of Magnolia Eye Care, who matched our financial contribution,” said Christopher Cook, owner of Alliance Insurance Services.
“This scholarship program is very important to us. Like Christopher, our family has also experienced personal loss due to a distracted driver,” said Dr. Fix.
“We want to educate and motivate young people by offering scholarships, but we also want them to get involved with raising awareness about the tragedy of distracted driving,” said Cook. "Toward that end, we welcome other matching donations which will allow us to increase the scholarship amounts even more."
Competition for the scholarship money is open to any North Carolina student planning to enroll in a community college or university this fall. The video can be up to three minutes in length and must be submitted by March 31.
2025 scholarship amounts (including private matching) are as follows:
First place $3,500, second place $ 1,800, third place $700.
