Deadline: January 19, 2010 - Scholastic.com

 

Scholastic.com is offering up to $30,000 to winning middle and high

school students participating in an environmental contest.

 

The Lexus Eco Challenge is a nationwide environmental education program

and contest that empowers teens to create a better world. Through the

program, middle and high school students can participate in two initial

environmental challenges: land & water and air & climate. The challenges

call for teams of 5-10 students and one teacher-advisor to define an

issue, make a plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report

the results online. Finalists from these challenges will receive $10,000

and be eligible to participate in the final challenge, in which they can

receive up to $30,000. Each challenge has a separate entry deadline:

November 6, 2009 (land and water), January 19, 2010 (air and climate),

and March 12, 2010 (final).
