Educator Legacy Award
Honor a Lifetime of Impact: Nominate an Exceptional Educator
At Road Scholar, our mission is education, and we understand the power and impact a great educator can have. Over the past 50 years, we’ve welcomed millions of educators and retired educators on our learning adventures. The Educator Legacy Award honors an exceptional teacher who has made a lasting impact during their career.
Each year, the Road Scholar Educator Legacy Award celebrates one remarkable retiring educator who has left a lasting legacy on the lives of their students.
We’re calling on you to help us find this unsung hero — a teacher whose dedication, compassion and impact deserves recognition.
The Prize
One exceptional educator will win:
A $5,000 Road Scholar voucher to embark on a Road Scholar program of their choice and jump-start their lifelong learning journey in retirement.
Eligibility: Nominees must be retiring teachers or educators in daycare, preschool, K-12, college or university settings who retired in 2025 or are retiring in 2026. Help us honor the teacher who changed your life — or the lives of countless others. Nominate your hero and give them the recognition they deserve. Nominations are open now through April 6, 2026.
