"We are very excited to offer our students a cheaper way to study abroad. This will be the business department’s first offering for our students to take advantage of learning opportunities at an international location and are looking forward to working with EF Tours."

Jeremy White
Jackson County High School; Jefferson, Georgia

"In today's tough economy it's getting even harder for students to take advantage of great opportunities like the trips that EF puts together, but winning this contest is helping student's that wouldn't normally have this chance travel abroad and experience the world."

Erin Curran
Bemidji High School; Bemidji, Minnesota

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can not express how excited I am to travel to Europe with my students! This is going to be the opportunity of a lifetime and I am so grateful I was selected. This has given me the opportunity to make the topics I have discussed in my History classes come alive. Traveling provides an entire education in itself and I am so happy to share this with my students."
January Jackson
Roosevelt High School; Sioux Falls, South Dakota

"Wow! My students really appreciate this award and the boost that it will give them. Finally being able to take these kids out of the classroom and show them the francophone world means a lot to me, but I think that this opportunity will change a few lives, too. Thanks again, EF Tours!"

Keeley Trumbo
Unionville High School; Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

"It's very rare that I ever win anything, so you can imagine my surprise when I heard I had won this wonderful prize! I feel so lucky to now have the means to let my students see the world in a different way - a way that is nearly impossible to replicate in the classroom. Traveling abroad is an experience that can undoubtedly change one's perspective and now, thanks to EF, several of my students will have the opportunity to learn more about themselves and their world by stepping out of their comfort zone to look at their surroundings with a new appreciation. This will be Unionville High School's first international trip in many years and because of EF we are off to making it an extremely memorable event! My students and I thank you so very much!"

Jennifer Hughes
Cresthill Middle School; Highlands Ranch, Colorado

"Wow! I was completely blown away when I got the call about winning this glorious prize. Ever since I was getting my history and archaeology degree, it has always been my dream to travel to Italy and Greece. Now I get to combine that dream with my passion for teaching by sharing this trip with my students. This is an indescribable opportunity for which I can't begin to express my gratitude. Thank you, EF Tours...you have gained a lifelong patron!"

"EF Tours has been providing Tucson Unified School District their services for a number of years now and has an outstanding reputation with us. We have been offered the best, reasonably priced travel package for our destination. Our students have a wonderful opportunity in their hands to travel and I can only foresee a very successful trip ahead. I am thrilled with our itinerary, as are our students, and I look forward to this trip and many more to come."
Doug Batt
Stroudsburg High School; Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

"I guess I can no longer say that I never win anything! My students and I are blown away by this offer to take a trip to London. This is going to be a cool way to experience the settings from many of the British Literature stories we have read over the years. Thank you, EF Tours, for this once in a lifetime opportunity. We plan on making the most of it."
Carrie Grabowski
Gill St. Bernards School; Gladstone, New Jersey

"Wow... wow, I never, ever win anything. This is so wonderful. I thank you and my students thank you!"
Betsy Louis
Saint Gertrude High School; Richmond, Virginia

"I am thrilled to take my students to France. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to bring alive what we are learning in the classroom at school. I look forward to them going out for their baguette and having coffee on the terrace of a Parisian cafe. I can't wait for them to experience the joie de vivre of the French!"
Justin Lang
Columbia High School; Lake City, Florida

"I am overjoyed to have been selected as a winner of a free EF Educational Tour for me and six students! What I'm most excited about is being able to provide an enriching international experience for young people that they will remember for the rest of their lives. I cannot thank EF enough for this opportunity!"
Robert Pearce
University of West Georgia; Carrollton, Georgia

"The award by EF could not have come at a better time. The Richards College of Business has been trying to add a new 3-credit elective centered around a 2009 Spring Break trip. With this award we are now going forward with the Business in Japan trip and hope to have 9 or 10 students benefit from this great learning opportunity. We are all very excited and grateful to EF for helping make this possible."
Lougirtha Houston

"Winning the free tour was exciting and a truly remarkable experience. Northern Students (including myself) are looking forward to a wonderful trip next year. Thank you."

Vivian Kreitner

"Never in my life have I won anything, so I was completely stunned when my EF Tour Consultant called to say that my students and I had won this wonderful opportunity to travel. As a science teacher, I am thrilled to be able to experience the beauty and diversity of Australia with students who otherwise might not have an opportunity to travel abroad. Thank you very much!"
