DRS Scholarship (Gabriel 'Gabe' Jenks Memorial Scholarship)

The DRS Scholarship is an annual essay-based scholarship program that awards $1,000 to a college or university student. Named in honor of Gabriel 'Gabe' Jenks, who passed away due to fentanyl poisoning, this scholarship supports students affected by substance use while promoting access to higher education. Applicants must submit an original essay discussing how drug and alcohol use has affected their lives, either personally or through loved ones, and provide their perspectives on the prevalence of substance use in the United States and potential solutions. The scholarship is offered by DRS (Drug Rehab Services), an organization devoted to helping individuals affected by substance use. Winners are selected based on originality, creativity, relevancy, completeness, and overall quality of their essay submissions.
