The Center for Social and Character Development at Rutgers University, formerly New Jersey Center for Character Education (NJCCE), has been established by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) through a grant from the US Department of Education to provide guidance, leadership and support for public and nonpublic educators developing and implementing character education programs. The Center also provides statewide and regional conferences annually and supports an information dissemination and collegial response forum, the New Jersey Character Education Network. New Jersey served as the pilot for the State School of Character award program in 2006. 

To be eligible, a school must have been engaged in character education for a minimum of three full years, starting no later

than December 2006 for the 2010 awards. Districts need to have been engaged in character education for a minimum of four full years, starting no later than December 2005. Smaller administrative units that maintain a separate identity within a large district may apply in the district category, e.g., a school pyramid or cluster. Previous National Schools of Character are ineligible to apply.
