Minnesota Schools of Character applications are due December 8, 2008. To be NSOC eligible, a school must have been
engaged in character education for a minimum of three full years, starting no later than December 2005 for the 2009 awards. Districts need to have been engaged in character education for a minimum of four full years, starting no later than December 2004.
Applications will be reviewed by a panel of judges who will select schools/districts for recognition as the 2009 Minnesota Schools/Districts of Character. Top Minnesota applicants meeting NSOC criteria will be referred on to the National Schools of Character competition where approximately ten grants as high as $10,000 will be awarded by the John Templeton Foundation.
