Learning Ally’s National Achievement Awards

Each year, Learning Ally recognizes outstanding students, educators, and schools across the U.S. Made possible by the generosity of private donors, the awards celebrate the academic and personal achievements of students who learn differently, and the educators whose dedication helps every student build literacy and a love of learning. Recipients are chosen by a National Selection Committee of leaders from across the country who champion student success.
