iN Education will award $5,000 tuition to the winning act of its Battle of the Teal - 4EDU!

CLEVELAND - March 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Akron based iN Education, Inc. is awarding $5,000 to the winning act during its state-wide inaugural Battle of the Teal - 4EDU, a Students' Showcase, held at the historical Masonic Temple in Cleveland, Ohio on June 11^th, 2016.  Students can showcase their talents in the following art categories: Photography, Collage, Drawing, Performing Arts, Poetry, Fashion Design, and Comedy. This fundraiser was created to raise awareness and support of its WOW Education Rewards program that aims to reward preK-12^th grade students for their individual achievements in school. iN Education, Inc. will engage communities by collaborating with representing non-profit organizations while supporting and promoting their causes.

After a decade of serving local and national education communities, iN Education, Inc. has created this student showcase to raise awareness of the college student loan debt epidemic, which affects 44 million people nationwide with collective dues reaching 1.3 trillion dollars according to a government data analysis by financial aid experts at Edvisors, the class of 2014 graduated with an average student loan debt of $33,000. This event addresses the importance of taking preventative measures against crippling student debt for the sake of Pre-K to 12^th grade school students by rewarding them for their dedication to the arts and their academic achievements so that they will not experience extensive college debt in the future. The rewards program allows students to pay for their college education with program points, which removes or minimizes the need to use loans to pay for their education.  Another issue program wishes to address is the motivation of our kids today.  We all can understand difference between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. The WOW Education Rewards program primarily focus on the extrinsic rewards meaning rewards that are tangible and visible to others.  With over 3,500 different rewards programs that primarily offer extrinsic rewards, e.g. free cup of coffee, 10cents off your gas per gallon, frequent flyer miles, and other, we all can relate to this trend.  Furthermore, each household averages 14 different rewards cards.  "Providing a service like this to the American people is rewarding in so many ways," says Founder & Executive Producer DeAndré L. Nixon.

There are two audiences we are seeking to get involved (Talent / Act and Representing Non-profit Organizations).  To register as a Talent / Act the cost is to volunteer a minimum of two (2) hours of community service at a chosen or referred Representing Nonprofit Organization. Acts will have the opportunity to be a YouTube star, perform LIVE during the Battle of the Teal main event, and win $5,000 worth of rewards points that will go towards their future college tuition!  To register as a Representing Non-profit Organization, the cost is $100.00 to represent its own formed Talent / Act or choose from a group of unrepresented Talent / Acts. Representing Non-profit Organizations will have an opportunity to benefit from registered Talent / Act's community service, market themselves on YouTube alongside their chosen Talent / Act, participate in our Ticket Drive program, plus create their own fundraising campaign with proceeds split with iN Education's Battle of the Teal event, and much more.
