Posted On: August 19, 2022

Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division is accepting applications to financially assist driver education safety programs in public and nonpublic schools in Volusia County. The funds must be used for direct educational expenses and not for administration costs.

The assistance is provided through fees collected by the Clerk of the Court for civil traffic fines and penalties in accordance with the Dori Slosberg Driver Education Safety Act.

Qualified driver education programs must be available to all public and nonpublic schools with students in grades 9-12 that offer driver education instruction programs. They must also be available to homeschooled and private school students in grades 9-12.

Applications are being accepted for the upcoming year, from Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2023. They are available at www.volusia.org/community_assistance/applications or by contacting Grant Coordinator Anslee Holland at aholland@volusia.org or 386-736-5955, ext. 12908.

Completed applications must be received by noon Sept. 2. They may be submitted by email, mail or in person.
