The “What Drives You?” scholarship program funded by
Twin Falls Idaho Jiffy Lube owners has awarded $2,500 in scholarships to two Magic
Valley high school students for the 2018-2019 school year.
Silas Almgren of Filer High School is the overall
scholarship recipient and will receive a $1,500 scholarship award on behalf of
Jiffy Lube. Ardice Fogelsong of Buhl High School will be awarded $1,000 as a
runner-up.
The “What Drives You?” scholarship program is open
to all high school students in the Magic Valley area.
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.
Silas’s drive is to pursue, understand and create ideas that
will have an influence on others’ lives through computer code. Ardice’s drive
is to pursue a career in chemistry and help create new and innovative products.
The scholarships are open to all students currently
enrolled in high school regardless of test scores or grades.
Jerome and Minico High Schools will receive $250
each for submitting the most essays for the 2018-2019 school year as part of
the Jiffy Lube “What Drives You?” Scholarship Program.
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.
