Schools! Apply Now to the Climate Resilient Schools Program.

During this program, EPA and a contractor will provide technical assistance to up to four school districts to support climate-resilient school buildings.

Whether your community is impacted by hurricanes, floods, or other climate risks, Climate Resilient Schools will help school districts gather feedback, identify needs and gaps, and create a plan to target and prioritize school infrastructure upgrades – all to help schools stay open safely – or re-open quickly and safely – despite increasing climate events.

School districts, state and local governments, and Tribes are welcome to apply. See the “Request for Letters of Interest” pdf for details about the program and how to submit a letter.

Applications are due January 19, 2024.

EPA will evaluate letters based on the criteria in the request and choose up to four school districts in early 2024. The pilot will last for approximately one calendar year, culminating in a personalized action plan.

Please note – this program is not a grant, and funding will not be given directly to school districts or state/local/Tribal governments.
