Fuel Your Future: The Jiffy Lube "What Drives You?" Scholarship

Are you a Utah high schooler with a dream, a side hustle, or a passion that keeps you moving? We want to hear about your goals, your grit, and exactly what drives you toward your future.  Your "inner drive" could be worth thousands of dollars toward your education.  But you have to move fast. Licensed Teen Drivers: Applications due Monday, March 9th, 2026.
 
Your Utah Jiffy Lube owners are looking to hand out $22,000 in total scholarship money this year, and they aren't looking at your GPA or your sports stats. They want to hear your story.

How It Works (It’s Simple!)
Most scholarships feel like a full-time job. This one? It’s all about your voice.

1. The Essay: Write 500 words or less on the topic: "What Drives You?" No transcripts, no letters of recommendation—just your raw ambition.

1. The Finalists: Four finalists will be chosen from two categories: Teen Drivers (licensed) and Driver’s Ed Students (currently enrolled).

1. The Video: If you’re selected as a finalist, you’ve already secured $1,500! To go for the $6,500 grand prize, you’ll just need to create a 1-2 minute video that brings your essay to life.
