Nominate a Local Teacher (or Yourself) to Win $200
Aptitude Internet is giving five amazing teachers a $200 gift to help kick off the school year, whether it’s for supplies, self-care, or something that makes the classroom brighter.
Real Help for Real Classrooms
Supporting Teachers
Whether you’re a teacher or you know one who deserves a little recognition, we want to hear from you. This year, each selected educator will receive a $200 award, enough to make a meaningful difference in their classroom or give them some well-earned breathing room. From buying a full set of student headphones or flexible seating, to subscribing to an educational tool not covered by school budgets, $200 can stretch further to support real teaching needs.
How Many Winners Are There?
We’re selecting five educators from our local communities, no strings attached. Use it for supplies, snacks, tech, or something just for yourself.
How Winners Are Chosen
Submissions will be reviewed by the Aptitude team and selected based on story, impact, and how the funds would be used. No essays needed, just let us know how this $200 could make a difference.

Not sure what to say? Here are a few examples:
“I’d use the $200 to buy flexible seating options and organization bins for my reading center.”
“This would go toward classroom snacks and hygiene supplies that I usually cover out of pocket.”
“Our high school art program needs updated brushes and paints—this would be a huge help.”
“As a first-year teacher, I’m still building my classroom library and would love to add more diverse titles.”
