FAQ

Are there two separate scholarships this year?

Yes, there's one contest at the high school level and one at the college level. Be sure that you apply at the appropriate place on the landing page and step 3 on Apply for your category!

Who should apply?

High school seniors who will complete graduation requirements by or before July 31, 2013; and college students who will still be attending school thru July 2013. The winning applicants will receive a scholarship toward the school of their choice (college, university, junior college or technical school).

How much is the scholarship?

The first place winner will receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000. Second-place finisher will receive $2,000. Third-place finisher will receive $1,000. This scholarship is made possible by the generosity of Mazda.

Can we apply in teams?

Yes, you can apply in teams (but no more than 4 per team). If your team wins, the prize will be evenly distributed among the members.

Is there anything else?

You bet! The Ad Council will edit the winning 1st place videos into a PSA and will distribute to 1,600 TV stations nationwide to air during National Youth Traffic Safety Month. The two first place winners (college and high school levels) will also be awarded an opportunity to attend the Skip Barber Racing School.
