SAFE Scholarship Form
Students who are in their senior year at a Kansas high school may apply to compete in SAFE Speaks.
Each SAFE student who participates in the scholarship competition is expected to prepare a presentation 5-8 minutes long on a topic related to driving safely. Visual aids are appreciated, but not required. Remember to use the terms "crash" or "wreck" rather than "accident" in your talk. Personal stories of how a crash has affected you or your community are encouraged. We want to see you present with passion!
Presentations will be judged on:
-
Content (Was your information accurate, relevant, and well researched?)
-
Delivery (Was your vocal volume and tone, gestures, and appearance appropriate?)
-
Language (Did you use words and phrases that the general public would understand?)
-
Responses (How well do you answer follow-up questions posed by the panel of judges?)
When you sign up, you choose a time to speak via Zoom to a panel of judges, who will pose relevant traffic safety questions immediately following the presentation.
Five winners will be selected to receive scholarships.
A Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office representative will visit the schools of the winning students, who will also be recognized at the Kansas Teen Transportation Safety Conference.
