Yass Prize from CER

The Center for Education Reform announced the official launch of the 2025 Yass Prize competition — offering $1 million to the education provider that most powerfully demonstrates Sustainable, Transformational, Outstanding, and Permissionless (STOP) education. Since its founding, the Yass Prize and STOP Awards Initiative have awarded over $50 million to more than 200 education innovators across sectors and approaches. This year, the Yass Prize will identify a select group of STOP-enabled organizations to join the prestigious business accelerator.
