The Rice Student Volunteer Program (RSVP) is the recipient of a $5,500 award from “Students with Drive,” a grant program administered by Zipcar Inc. and the Ford Motor Co. The program recognizes applicants in five different categories — academics, arts, athletics, student life and community service. Winners are chosen through Facebook based on the number of “likes.”

RSVP will use the award to finance transportation during their future service endeavors.
