Sean M. Cleary Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by The Law Offices of Sean M. Cleary

Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 1

Our $1,000 scholarship is intended to support one student who will help raise awareness on the deadly effects of teen DUI. The purpose of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance to students in their pursuit of higher education. If you or someone you care about has had their life impacted by DUI, we want to hear your story.

In 2018, for every 100,000 Americans, 3.3 people were killed in DUI accidents. For every 100,000 Americans under the age of 21, 1.1 teens died in DUI crashes. The numbers are higher for Florida. The number of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities per 100k population was 3.3. (responsibility.org)

If a teen survives his or her first DUI and is arrested, the financial cost is staggering:

A) The cost of the annual auto insurance increases over the following years.

B) Those who have been detained are required to attend a DUI Program that also adds to the expenses.

C) Towing and storage fees can amount to more than $100/day.

D) He or she will have to pay fines, attorney fees, and DMV reinstatement fees.

A high school or college student charged with DUI will lose the driving license for a period, be on probation, and serve mandatory jail time. He or she may also face a disciplinary hearing at his/her high school or college.
