Scholarship Program
Fifteen high school seniors have been awarded $2,500 scholarships towards their college education through the ninth annual Michael A. DeMayo Scholarship Program.

The program was open to 23 counties that our law firm serves. North Carolina counties included Mecklenburg, Gaston, Catawba, Union, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Lincoln, Rowan, Caldwell, Stanly, Iredell, Alexander, Burke, Robeson, Scotland, Richmond, Anson and Cumberland. South Carolina counties included York, Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlboro and Dillon. Since 2003, our firm has awarded $200,000 in scholarships to 82 high school seniors in North and South Carolina.

This year, our firm's scholarship committee selected students based on their school and community involvement, grades, SAT scores and a presentation (video, PowerPoint, brochure, website or essay) that encouraged fellow teens to abstain from underage drinking and driving and highlighted the dangers of drinking and driving.

We received a record number of applications this year were very impressed with the presentations we received from so many creative and intelligent young people. It was very obvious that the students clearly understand the potentially devastating consequences of drinking and driving and wanted to try alternative approaches to reach their classmates.

Essay Instructions: Source uploaded to the fax board.

Please include a Works Cited page. 2,500 word minimum, MLA style persuasive type research paper about Impaired Driving in the US. Original thesis or use an aspect of someone else's thesis and develop it. The research should include law enforcement's and the court's response to individuals who drive impaired. Law enforcement's perspective on prevention and how Law enforcement has made some difference in the problem. Mostly in regards to the western states. Discuss the steps that have been taken throughout history up to the present time to curb the behavior and the results of those changes. One of the main ideas to discuss and describe is the idea that drinking and driving or driving while impaired is more of a SOCIETAL ISSUE rather than legislative. Driving under the influence can not be fixed by laws, law enforcement or education alone. The issue is both legislative and social. Briefly compare the difference between the US and other countries in regards to drinking and driving. Include in-text citations from the sources used.
