2025 Share the Road Scholarship
Congratulations to Dr. Deanese Jameson, the winner of our scholarship in 2024! See more about our previous scholarship winners here!
At Fredson Statmore Bitterman, we believe that road safety is a shared responsibility and that change starts with awareness, compassion, and action. We’re excited to announce the 2025 edition of our Share the Road Scholarship, created to highlight the importance of responsible driving and to support students who are passionate about protecting everyone on the road.
This $1,000 scholarship is awarded to a student who understands the importance of safe driving and has ideas on how to make our roads safer, whether through education, innovation, or community action. Pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and motorcyclists all deserve to travel without fear.
We invite applicants to reflect on how technology, culture, and behavior can shape a safer future for all. How can we do better together?
Applications are open until December 31, 2025.
