Nominate the educator who helped you excel. Your story could earn you $5,000.
We’ve all had that teacher who pushes us to think deeper, write stronger, and grow more confident in our own voice.
Grammarly’s Educator of the Year award honors the educators who strengthen our writing, encourage clearer communication, and help us excel academically.
If someone in your life fits that description, now’s your time to brag—and possibly earn a $5,000 scholarship for doing it.
