Charter leaders, we want to share a reminder about the upcoming deadline to apply for the Yass Prize. Applications are due by 12 PM on Monday, June 1.
You may already be familiar with this award, but if you’re not, here’s the explanation from the Yass Prize below.
The Yass Prize is viewed as the “Pulitzer for Education Innovation”—devoted to identifying and elevating the next generation of education changemakers. Through generous financial support as well as essential connectivity and knowledge-sharing, founders Janine and Jeff Yass aim to empower organizations that give students not only education, but also dignity, value, and a sense of family.
The Yass Prize has provided grants to education innovators since 2021. It is based on the STOP acronym, or four founding principles: Sustainable, Transformational, Outstanding and Permissionless.
