Kansas Schools Invited to Apply for Green Schools Grant Program

The Kansas Green Schools Grant Program, developed through a partnership between the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education, is designed to encourage schools to develop creative, innovative, effective environmental projects that improve the environment; make schools a healthier place to learn, play, and work; and save money through reduced use of resources.

Grant projects must address air quality, climate change, solid waste reduction and recycling, or water management through an integrated holistic approach emphasizing public health or environment-related issues. All school-based program initiatives must include direct environmental benefits and education as components of their integrated approach.

In fiscal year 2009 (July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009), any public or private K-12 school in Kansas may apply for a Green Schools Grant. Grant awards will be for a maximum of $4,500 per school and will be limited to projects that can reasonably be completed within one school year. Schools must be registered on the Kansas Green Schools Network.

See the Kansas Green Schools Web site for complete program information, grant categories, and deadlines.
