Who Can Apply:
- In July 2012, Aaron, Allison, Brielle, and unborn baby Deutscher were killed by a drunk driver while traveling to a family reunion.
- Five people tragically lost their lives in this preventable incident that shook communities across North Dakota. The Deutscher family was fun, loving, and active and in the prime of their lives when senseless distracted driving cut their lives short and robbed their family and friends of their presence.
- The North Dakota Safety Council and the Deutscher Family Memorial provide higher education opportunities through the Foundation 4 Change Scholarship to those looking to take the next step in their educational journey. This scholarship is open to traditional and non-traditional students and includes those attending traditional and non-traditional education institutions (e.g., community and vocational schools).
- This scholarship aims to honor the lives of the Deutscher family by supporting students who are advocates for safe and responsible driving.
- Any high school, undergraduate, trade school, or graduate student in North Dakota who has a tie to drunk or distracted driving may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, submit an essay or video telling us about the consequences of drinking and driving, how to promote responsible driving, relevant personal anecdotes, and possible initiatives for raising awareness.
