NOTE: Currently, the scholarship that is available is for Class Room Only at a $50.00 discount. Recipients of this scholarship would pay $100.00 for 30 hours of classroom instruction. Please follow the application procedures below. We hope to have funding for the Safe Teen Scholarship in the near future.
Drivers Ed Scholarship
At the Safe America Foundation, we do not believe that a family’s income should determine their teen’s access to effective, high-quality driving instruction. This is why we created the SafeTeen Scholarship Fund - Georgia's only scholarship program for families seeking safe driver education for their loved one.
