Grants and Funding Opportunities

Project Learning Tree’s GreenSchools Initiative provides training and funding for students and teachers to investigate environmental issues at their school and engage with their community in service-learning projects that create green and healthy learning environments.

Scholastic and Lexus have partnered to give students the opportunity to make a difference in the health of our planet. In the Lexus Eco Challenge teams will define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan and report the results. Teams consist of five to 10 students and one teacher adviser.

The Student Conservation Association's (SCA's) mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of our environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land. SCA's Green Your School Contest is a national competition to stimulate and/or identify conservation service projects designed by high school students that improve, restore, beautify or conserve their high school environment.
