Overview

The Don't Text and Drive Scholarship aims to raise awareness about the dangers of texting while driving, which can distract drivers for an alarming five seconds—the time it takes to cover the length of a football field. Supported by Digital Responsibility, this scholarship is open to high school and college students who are U.S. citizens or legal residents. By participating, students can engage in discussions about safe driving practices and the consequences of digital distractions.

Do you know how far you will drive on the freeway if you take your eyes off the road for five seconds, the average time it takes to send a text? An entire football field.
According to the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, texting while driving makes drivers 23 times more likely to get into a "safety-critical event."
The purpose of this scholarship is to help you understand the risks of texting while driving. For more information on texting while driving, please see these articles.
