Celebrating the 2026 Knack Partner Awards Winners

Every year, the Knack Partner Awards recognize institutions that are finding new ways to support students through peer learning, student employment, and stronger campus connection.

At Knack, we partner with colleges and universities to help them scale peer tutoring by hiring high-performing students as paid tutors. Through this model, institutions extend support across more courses, create meaningful student employment opportunities, and foster stronger peer connection across campus communities.

This year’s award winners are building tutoring programs that reflect the realities of student life today. Their programs support students balancing work, commuting, family responsibilities, and demanding academic schedules.

Together, these partners show what can happen when institutions invest in students as both learners and leaders.
