Motor-vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of preventable death for U.S. teens, underscoring the urgent need for education, resources, and parental involvement to reverse this trend and to save young lives.
To help move the statistics toward zero, the National Safety Council (NSC) founded DriveitHOME, in partnership with General Motors. This program provides free, research-based resources that help parents guide their teens in gaining real-world driving experience and developing safe driving habits.
In Texas, DriveitHOME is aiming to increase access to driver education for teenagers (ages 14-17) by piloting a teen driver education scholarship program that supports at least 60 young drivers.
Novice drivers (between the ages of 14-17) who have not taken and will be enrolled in driver education for the spring or summer 2026 semester
Recipient's family must sign an acceptance agreement stipulating use of funds for tuition
Award checks are sent to the driving programs
