Only state education authorities can nominate schools.

State education authorities are encouraged to indicate their intent to nominate schools, districts and postsecondary institutions for the 2015-2016 year competition to USED by August 1, 2015 via email to ED.Green.Ribbon.Schools@ed.gov

Interested schools, districts, and postsecondary institutions should contact their state education authorities for specific information regarding state applications if they wish to be nominated for the 2015-2016 cycle.

Please note: ED's award is called "U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools" and has "District Sustainability Award" and "Postsecondary Sustainability Award" categories. "Green Ribbon Schools" without the "U.S. Department of Education" is not ED's award, but instead is a program overseen by another organization.
