Description
Excerpt: This report summarizes 207 environmental education grants awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during fiscal year (FY) 2002. The Environmental Education Grants Program was created under Section 6 of the National Environmental Education Act, and the first grants were awarded in 1992. EPA’s Office of Environmental Education (OEE) manages the program. Grants of Federal funds over $25,000 are awarded annually by EPA Headquarters and smaller grants by the 10 EPA regional offices, as described below. The grants are awarded to stimulate environmental education by supporting projects that address EPA educational priorities such as: state education reform and capacity building, human health, teacher training, career development, and community environmental issues, including those related to environmental justice. The goal of the program is to support projects that enhance the public’s awareness and knowledge of environmental issues and the skills they need to make informed and responsible decisions that affect environmental quality. Organizations eligible for grants under the program are: any college or university, tribal or local education agency, state education or environmental agency, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, or noncommercial educational broadcasting entity.
