COSEBOC Annual School Awards

The COSEBOC School Awards are designed to recognize and reward preK-12 schools nationwide that have strong track records of academic achievement amongst their male students of color.  Selected schools receive a $10,000 unrestricted grant.  We encourage others to learn from the promising practices of these successful schools.

To apply, at least 25% of a school's students must be male students of color (African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic, Native American, Multi-racial, etc.) and the academic achievement of its male students of color must be at least equal to the academic achievement of all students in its state.  District, charter and private; coed and single gender schools are invited to apply.  A school need not be a member of COSEBOC to submit an application nor will membership be considered during the selection process. 

Purpose

• Promote the replication of promising practices that contribute to the success of these schools
• Demonstrate to the public that schools can successfully educate male students of color

Benefits
