On October 13, the 32 remarkable Yass Prize Semifinalists were announced live at Forbes on Fifth in New York City. They were selected from thousands of impressive applications.
The $1 Million Yass Prize celebrates the country’s education provider which best demonstrates the STOP principles. In conjunction with The Yass Prize, the STOP Awards initiative provides over $16 million in support annually to honor educators who achieve excellence.
Why “STOP” for Education?
The Yass Prize and STOP Awards Initiative were created to find and advance the work of education providers that continued to serve children despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic. Following the success of the inaugural Awards in 2021, the program was broadened to not only recognize and reward innovative education providers working day in and day out to serve students but to amplify their work through numerous experiences and an extensive mentorship network.

Meet the STOP for Arizona Education Awardees!
The STOP for Arizona Education Awards was created to reward Arizona education providers who could best support and scale to provide opportunities for more families now able to use the state’s pioneering Empowerment Scholarship Accounts for their students. An initial commitment of $500,000 was made for one grand prize honoring Governor Doug Ducey’s efforts to give families unprecedented power over their children’s education, and $100,000 to each of five other outstanding education providers. Then, upon learning of the great work happening and to accelerate the expansion of critical learning opportunities for students, Janine and Jeff Yass made an incredible gesture to double the awards.
Congratulations to: Science Prep Academy, Kino School, Love Your School, Our Lady of the Lake, St. John the Evangelist, and St. Mary-Basha.
