"Students with Drive" Campaign Launches to
Support Mission-Driven College Leaders
BOSTON, Sept. 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zipcar, the world's leading
car-sharing network and the largest campus car-sharing provider,
today announced its signature Students with Drive campaign
to support the next generation of mission-driven leaders. Access to
Zipcar's car-sharing service on campus has introduced Gen Z -
community-minded, conscious consumers – to sustainable
transportation. Now, through Students with Drive, Zipcar is
empowering young trailblazers to sustainably live their missions
and impact their communities.
"Today's college students are immensely passionate about making
a meaningful social and environmental difference in the world,"
said Kate Smith, who oversees
Zipcar's University relationships as Head of Business to Business
and Partnerships. "At Zipcar, we want to introduce students to the
concept of car-sharing and its impact. We know this generation
wants to fuel change, especially when it comes to environmentally
sustainable choices and community building. Zipcar's Students
with Drive helps support the influential efforts of Gen Z
across the nation."
Students with Drive Fuel Change
Students with
Drive first launched in October
2011 to support student organizations who need access to
transportation to move their mission forward. Since then,
Zipcar has given more than one million
dollars in funding to empower 400 student groups across the
country. This year, the Grand Prize will consist of $5,000 to the student organization, $5,000 to the University general scholarship fund
and $2,000 for the student
organization to access Zipcars, with tiered prizes for second
through tenth place.
Interested student organizations who have Zipcars on or around
campus should enter by October 31,
2022, by submitting a questionnaire that addresses their
mission and how Zipcar can drive it further. A panel of judges will
review the submissions, and the top 10 entrants will receive
$300 in Zipcar Driving Credit and a
$500 gift card to create a video
demonstrating how the student organization will address its mission
with the help of Zipcar. Videos must be submitted by February 16, 2023 and will be voted on via Zipcar
and social media. Winners will be notified and announced in the
spring of 2023. For Official Rules and to enter, visit
