A nationwide competition will let student groups compete to earn funding for scholarships, operations, and driving credit)
University-affiliated organization Zipcar is searching for “Students With Drive.”
The first step of the competition is for groups to share their story and let Zipcar know how they’re driving societal change on campus and in their community through their mission. The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 17.
From the entries received nationwide, five finalists will be selected by the university-affiliated organization Zipcar; each will win $300 in driving credit and a $500 gift card to help make a feature video. In the last stage of the campaign, the finalist videos will go live for a public vote. The winning group will earn the $11,000 grand prize ($5K scholarship, $5K group donation, and $1K driving credit).
The U. of I. supports active transportation options, including the Zipcar vehicle-sharing network. Thank you for your help making U. of I. students aware of this opportunity that could showcase their efforts.
