**Only state education authorities can nominate schools, districts, and postsecondary institutions.**

Interested schools, districts, and postsecondary institutions should contact their state education authorities for specific information regarding state applications if they wish to be nominated.

**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.
