Kappa Delta Pi, Academic Honor Society and the School of Education will be presenting a project that helps teachers understand the importance of environmental care in schools.

To be eligible to win this grant the project should demonstrate a creative and sustainable solution to a campus, local or regional environmental issue. It must enhance local awareness regarding an environmental issue. The project should include an anticipated budget as well as a timeline for implementation and completion.

There will be two awards of $1,500 each given to groups that provide a sustainable environmental proposal and two awards of $1,000 each, divided from an individual $500 award and department represented award of $500.
