IDEAHO FALLS, Idaho - May 21, 2019 - PRLog -- The "What Drives You?" scholarship program funded by East Idaho Jiffy Lube owners has awarded $3,500 in scholarships to two East Idaho high school students for the 2018-2019 school year.

Paetra Morgan, of Skyline High School is the overall scholarship recipient and will receive a $2,500 scholarship award on behalf of Jiffy Lube. Shayla Rowe of Thunder Ridge High School will be awarded $1,000 as a runner-up.

Students are asked to submit a 500-word essay detailing what drives them now, as an opportunity to express their inner drive and ambitions.  Finalists are selected based on their essay submission. Finalists are then required to submit a short 1-2 minute video that expands on the essay they submitted and then the overall winner is selected.
