Every year, teachers invest their own time, energy, and often their own money into creating great learning environments for their students.
This giveaway is one small way for us to say thank you.
Whether the award helps purchase classroom supplies, books, technology, snacks, or other resources, we hope it helps make the start of the school year just a little easier.
Who Can Enter?
Eligible teachers must work at a school located within the communities served by Aptitude Internet.

We're selecting five educators from the communities we serve to each receive a $200 award in a VISA gift card.
There are no strings attached. Use it where it will make the biggest difference for you and your students.
How Winners Are Chosen
The Aptitude Internet team will review each nomination and select five recipients based on the story shared, the impact the award could make, and how the funds would be used.
