The Driver Education Scholarship Program sponsored by State Farm Insurance has been established to provide underprivileged teens in our community the much needed and valuable behind the wheel safe driving instruction offered through the National Safety Council, Greater Omaha Chapter’s Driver Education program.  The scholarships will make it possible for students who may not have the opportunity to take advantage of a formal driver education program, which studies have proven reduces the incidence of teen driving accidents and citations.

Scholarships will cover the full cost of the program and will be awarded based on the 2009 Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines.
