**Only state education authorities can nominate schools.**

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 2016-2017 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.
