Three grand prize winners will be able to choose from five education-inspiring destinations to travel to and have hotels, flights, and experiences for them and a guest, including:

  • Kahului (Maui), Hawaii for marine biology fans
  • Chicago, Ill. for fine arts and architecture lovers
  • Washington, D.C., for American History buffs
  • Palm Springs, Calif. for geology fanatics
  • Nashville, Tenn. for music connoisseurs

Seven runners-up will also be chosen to each receive 30,000 Southwest® Airlines Rapid Rewards® bonus points to use towards their own future Edu-Vacations.*
