Global Rewards

When you partner with EF, you'll unlock benefits through our Global Rewards program that support your professional development, provide educational travel scholarships for students, and create new opportunities across your entire district. Designed to deepen our educational partnerships with schools that share our mission of Opening the World Through Education, this program expands opportunities for teachers to grow professionally while helping more students experience the world. Plus, you’re automatically enrolled once you start planning your first educational student tour—so you start earning points right away.

How to earn

All the easy ways to earn points

When families sign their students up for your EF tour, they’re not just paying for plane tickets, hotels, and museum visits. They’re investing in an unforgettable and immersive learning journey, a global EF support system that has their back, and a variety of tools and resources to help manage costs.

Lead educational student tours

For every educational tour you lead, you earn points. The more students who sign up, the more your points grow.

Lead tours again and again

When you continue to lead EF student tours over time, you automatically earn extra points—at a quicker rate.

Educational tours in your school

If other teachers in your school lead EF educational tours, you all earn bonus points, and more students see the world.

Refer a friend

Earn extra points when you refer a friend or colleague and they lead their own EF tour. (Plus, they earn their own points!)

Redeem your points for opportunities that reward you, your students, and your district

As an educator who values travel-based learning, you’re focused on helping your students grow by seeing the world. Our Global Rewards program gives you the well-deserved chance to focus on your own professional development and connect with other educators in some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.
