DUI Task Force Scholarship Available

This year, the Roosevelt County DUI Task Force is offering a scholarship of $500 to any high school senior graduating in 2025 from a school within the boundaries of Roosevelt County.

The focus of this year’s scholarship is 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 if impaired and not riding with a driver who is impaired by alcohol/ drugs.

Essay criteria and entrance sheets can be found with any of the high school counselors and must be submitted to the Roosevelt County Health Department through the school’s counselor or other designated school contact.

The application deadline is April 15.

For any questions about the scholarship, contact A.J. Allen at aallen@rooseveltcounty. org or call 406-6536212.
