AAA South Jersey is sponsoring its annual essay contest for local high school seniors. The winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship toward a two-or-four year accredited educational institution.
The contest is open to all high school seniors attending school in Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester or Salem counties. Entry forms are available at AAA South Jersey offices in Voorhees, Sewell, Logan Township and Millville. Students can also download the entry form at www.AAA.com/scholarship. The deadline for entries to be received by AAA South Jersey is March 31, 2015.
Every student who enters the contest will receive a free, one-year AAA Basic Student Membership.
For the contest, students are required to write an essay of between 500 and 1,000 words in response to the question:
What do you consider to be the biggest difference between what your generation does behind the wheel of a car, and your parents’ generation? Should one generation try to be more like the other?
This marks the ninth year that AAA South Jersey has sponsored the scholarship program.
“We are excited to once again give a deserving student the opportunity to advance their education,” said Carol Scott, CEO of AAA South Jersey. “This contest challenges students to be examine their own driving habits, as well as those of their parents, whom they’re been watching drive for their entire life. We expect this year’s question to generate some very intelligent responses from area students.”
