Distinguished Secondary Teacher Award

Northwestern Seniors,

Please think about a high school teacher who made a difference in your life and take a few minutes to nominate that person for the 2021 Distinguished Secondary Teacher Award. The nomination process takes only about the length of a study break, but can make a world of difference to a teacher. Former honorees say that “having someone feel that way about what I am doing in my class is amazing”.

Give back. Nominate a teacher today at http://teachernomination.northwestern.edu . Applications are due December 14th at 11:59 PM.

Recipients of this award each receive $5000, as well as $5000 for their schools, and are honored during Commencement activities. To hear about the experiences of former winners, please visit our website.

Please contact DSTAwards@northwestern.edu with any questions. All students who nominate a teacher before the early deadline, November 25, will be automatically entered to win NU winter wear gear or $100 Amazon gift card.
