LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / December 15, 2025 / Centro Legal Hispano de Las Vegas and its personal injury lawyers want to extend a helping hand to the next generation of students in the face of rising tuition costs. The Drive Smart, Live Safe Scholarship: How Students Can Help Prevent Drunk Driving in Their Communities promises $2,500 to a student who can thoughtfully present a plan for reducing the number of intoxicated drivers on the road.

Students at accredited United States trade schools, technical schools, colleges, universities, and graduate schools have until April 1, 2026, to complete their applications. This process requires students to write an original 1,000-word essay discussing how they can directly influence their community and prevent drunk drivers from driving on roads.

The scholarship selection committee encourages students to think critically about how they can raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving while promoting safe alternatives to getting behind the wheel of a car while drunk. Centro Legal Hispano de Las Vegas wants to celebrate the ambitions of student leaders who are already in the process of inspiring change in their communities.

The team asks that students complete their original essays without the assistance of AI to qualify for the scholarship's $2,500 award.
