A college readiness and scholarship tool called RaiseMe is doing its part to help teachers.

RaiseMe, which helps high school students earn micro-scholarships for accomplishments as early as ninth grade, is holding an educator challenge with the deadline to apply on Dec. 11. “The Amazing Raise” will provide $2,500 in school supplies to the top two high schools in the state that invite and sign up the most students to “RaiseMe” from late November to the deadline date this month. Teachers can use the prize money for classroom supplies, cleaning items and technology upgrades. This is the first time this competition has been conducted in Arizona.

Amanda Schwabe, director of Student Partnerships for CampusLogic, a Phoenix-based tech company that acquired RaiseMe, said her team knows that being a teacher is a difficult job, especially with all the challenges of this year. The aim is to help area high schools and make college more attainable for students in the state by offering scholarships.

In order to win, schools must sign up the most ninth through 12th grade students by the deadline. The campuses with the highest percentage of students who sign up, based on total enrollment, will win $2,500 to spend on classroom and facility needs.
