You Made the Grade

Program At A Glance

This is a worldwide program that began in February 2000.  The "You Made the Grade Program" is designed to reward students for above-average academic achievement and to inspire them to continue to work harder. Recognizing student’s academic achievements offers the Exchange an opportunity to make a contribution to the military community quality of life and establish loyalty in our younger generation. This program provides an incentive for youth, not only to stay in school but, to excel. 

$40,000 in Savings Bonds!

Each year the Exchange will award twelve savings bonds in the total amount of $40,000!

Students can register for a drawing for one of three Savings Bonds in the amount of $5000, $3000, or $2000.
