Franklin, Tennessee – GriffithLaw Injury Lawyers and its scholarship selection committee invite students to apply for the new The Road Ahead: New Driver Preparedness Scholarship. This scholarship, valued at $2,500, encourages undergraduate and graduate students at accredited United States trade schools, colleges, and universities to discuss how new drivers can improve their safety on the road. 

Eligibility

• The scholarship is open to any current high school senior, vocational student, college student, or graduate student who is a legal resident of the United States residing in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia and who is enrolled in a vocational program or a two to four-year post-secondary institution.
• Employees of GriffithLaw, their immediate families (parent, child, sibling, and spouse), and persons living in the same households of such individuals (whether related or not), are not eligible to participate in the competition. 
• Candidates for this scholarship should have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher and be in good overall academic standing.
• Proof of Tennessee residence or a Tennessee College student account will be needed before the scholarship check is issued to the institution of the scholarship winner’s choice. 

Applicants should create a video between three and five minutes long discussing the best practices that can protect new drivers and the people on the road around them. Students can use media editing tools and copyright-free materials to increase the visual appeal of their videos.

However, students may not use AI to create their videos wholesale, create fake actors for their videos, supplement their voices, or write their scripts. The inappropriate use of AI to create a video for The Road Ahead: New Driver Preparedness Scholarship will result in a student’s application being removed from the applicant pool.

The scholarship selection committee looks forward to awarding The Road Ahead: New Driver Preparedness Scholarship’s $2,500 to a student who thoroughly and compassionately shares advice that can improve new drivers’ safety on the road. Students have until May 31, 2026, to complete their applications and submit them for consideration. Only a single recipient will be chosen for the 2026-2027 academic year. 

Unfortunately, GriffithLaw Injury Lawyers cannot consider late applications or applications submitted without all of the required materials.
