State Schools of Character Awards
 

 

Some states are conducting State Schools of Character (SSOC) competitions as a preliminary step to advancing to the  NSOC awards. This tiered approach allows schools and districts to be recognized at the state level as State Schools of Character, providing exemplary sites within states to serve as models.


The SSOC and NSOC applications are the same.  However, if your school or district is located in one of the states listed below, you apply directly to your state sponsor, not to CEP.  Click on your state to learn more about how the process will work in your state and to download your state's application guidelines. The state guidelines automatically connect to CEP's website to complete your Application Cover Sheet.

    California  Illinois  Minnesota North Carolina
