Civic Learning Award FAQ
1. What if I lose my password when applying online?
If you lose your password, simply email Judicial Outreach to reset your account password.
2. If our school won an award last year, can we apply again this year?
If your school won the Award of Merit or Distinction in a previous year, your school is welcome to apply again this year. If your school won an Award of Excellence, your school will be able to apply again after two additional years. For example, a school receiving an Award of Excellence in the 2016-17 school year, may reapply in the 2019-20 school year.
3. Can school districts apply?
While we applaud district-wide efforts to implement civic education, this is currently an award for schools only. There is no limit to how many schools from a district may each apply.
4. What if my school doesn’t fit the age spans provided?
To promote equity and fairness in the application rating process, schools are evaluated only in comparison to other schools serving the same general age span in these categories: elementary, middle, and high school. Please choose the category that best describes the classes/clubs/programs in your total application.
