Champions of the Environment wants South Carolina’s young people to learn about and protect the natural world. So each year, Champions awards more than $10,000 to K-12 students and teachers for environmental action and awareness projects. Maybe you will be the next Champion of the Environment.
There are 2 ways to become a Champion:
- The Grant Award Program rewards projects that help the environment. South Carolina's K-12 students, teachers and environmental educators can apply to win $500. Grant winners compete to be named Overall Champions of the Environment and win a larger cash prize at the end of the school year.
New for 2007-2008: Grants will be awarded in October and February.
