DUI Scholarship Extended

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the preventative measures taken by state officials regarding school closures, the Roosevelt County DUI Task Force is extending its scholarship application deadline to Thursday, April 30. The scholarship application is open to any senior student that will be graduating in May 2020.

The focus of this year’s scholarship is to write an essay on how the student chooses to live above the influence of alcohol use, drug use, peer pressure, bullying or any other negative influences around them.

By focusing on the positive aspects of the student, the task force is hoping to help empower them and others around them, by making positive choices which includes not drinking underage, not driving impaired and not riding with a driver who is impaired by alcohol or drugs.

For questions or to inquire about the scholarship applications directly, contact A.J. Allen, DUI Task Force coordinator, at 653-6212 or by email at aallen@rooseveltcounty. org.
