Nominate a Student
The Civic Education Project's programs are designed to help promising students in grades 7 through 12 develop the knowledge, experience and leadership skills they need to make a positive impact on the world.
We are currently accepting nominations to help us identify outstanding middle and high school students who have an interest in civic engagement. Once nominated, students will be sent a personalized invitation to apply to one of our innovative programs. If you would like copies of our catalogs and/or applications, they are available for download as soon as they are published.
