2009 National Schools of Character Program

Deadline: December 8, 2008

Maximum Award: Up to $10,000

The Center for Social and Character Development at Rutgers University coordinates the New Jersey State Schools of Character (SSOC) award program as a preliminary step for NJ schools to advance to the National Schools of Character awards. This tiered approach allows more schools and districts to be recognized and provides exemplary sites to serve as models and coaches for other educators.

To participate, download the New Jersey Schools of Character application and addendum from the CSCD website at: http://www.rucharacter.org/.
