OTSO says the average teen driving courses cost between $300-600. They are establishing this scholarship program to cover the costs of these courses.
The grants are available to local government agencies, like police departments and health departments, and will then be awarded to individual students through those agencies.
Eligible students are those who have demonstrated financial need, like free school lunch or SNAP, and have not had driving training.
