DALLAS – Military children who earn top grades can enjoy exclusive discounts, prizes and savings with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s You Made the Grade program.
All military students in first through 12th grades, including those who are homeschooled, can bring their report cards to the PX/BX customer service area each grading period to receive prizes.
Students with straight A’s will receive a $20 Exchange gift card while students with a B average will receive a $10 Exchange gift card.
“Children in military families face unique challenges such as frequent moves and having to adjust often to new schools,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Rich Martinez, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “Now in its 24th year, the You Made the Grade program is an exciting way to show these young heroes that the Exchange is all in to support them no matter where their families’ service takes them.”
Students will also receive an Exchange coupon sheet, including:
• A free small fountain, frozen drink or bubbler beverage.
• A free kid’s meal at a participating Exchange restaurant.
• A free combo meal at a participating Exchange restaurant.
• A free kid’s hair service or $15 off hair service at The Barber Shop or Hair Studios.
• 10% off any pair of headphones (excluding Apple and Beats).
• 10% off apparel and footwear.
• A $5 coupon at Exchange mall concessions or kiosks.
Students who are making progress on their specialized education programs can participate too. Parents can print this downloadable form (https://www.aafes.com/Images/AboutExchange/YouMadetheGrade/downloadform.pdf) on ShopMyExchange.com and have it signed by their child’s teacher or school official each grading period, indicating the modified grades of the student’s academic progress. The signed form can be handed in to the main customer service desk at the PX or BX to earn You Made the Grade prizes.
Students who make the grade can enter a biannual worldwide sweepstakes for a chance to win a $2,000, $1,500 or $500 Exchange gift card. The spring 2025 drawing will take place in June.
To enter the drawing, students or parents can complete the form on the back of the gift card and mail it to:
