June is National Safety Month and we’d like to focus on the importance of not texting while driving. Did you know that according to Virginia Tech Transportation Institute you are 23x more likely to get into an accident if you use your phone while driving.   we all know it is important to lessen the distractions while driving, especially when it comes to using our phones. Therefore, this month I’d like to highlight 2 important no texting and driving scholarships that are on horizon. Many have heard stories and, sadly, know of people that have been effected by texting and driving. Check out these scholarships to learn more how you can apply and continue to make the pledge to not text and drive:
