Incentive Awards are available for Oregon Green Schools

Oregon Green Schools Association is offering ten $300 awards in 2007-2008 to encourage Oregon schools to become certified Green Schools. A school may receive a grant to become a Green School once every 6 years. You may, however, receive a grant to certify as Green, and next year receive a grant to move up to Merit or Premier without waiting the 6 years. Check with your coordinator if you are not sure if you qualify.

New this year is a choice of $300, a Worm Bin package, Zero Waste lunch kits, and Living Wise action kits!

Grants for NEW Green Schools:
In an effort to increase school participation in regions of Oregon where there are currently no certified Green Schools, OGSA is offering an incentive award for schools that become a Green School during the 2007-08 school year. To receive this grant, schools must meet Green School criteria and must be located in one of the target areas. Awards are given on a first come, first served basis:

Grants for schools moving up to MERIT or PREMIER
To encourage schools to go beyond the basics, OGSA is offering an incentive award to schools that become certified as a Merit school or certify/renew as a Premier Green School this school year. Schools from any region in Oregon are eligible to apply.
