Drive to Succeed Program

Drive to Succeed is a state grant program of the Department of Public Safety's Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) aiming to expand access to teen and young adult driver training (those who are 15 1/2 - 20 years old).  The grant funds scholarships for qualifying students to access and complete driver education. Ohio residents aged 15 1/2 to 20 years who qualify for SNAP are eligible to apply for a scholarship.  Contact us at drivetosucceed@fairfieldesc.org and a team member will get back to you as soon as possible.  Direct Link to Drive to Succeed Page: https://www.faircoesc.org/page/drivetosucceed .  See Mrs. Davis for more information.
