Each year at the National Forum on Education Policy, we present awards to individuals, states and organizations that have made significant contributions to public education.
Named for the co-founder of Education Commission of the States and former president of Harvard University, the Conant Award recognizes outstanding individual contribution to American education.
The Newman Award recognizes a state or territory that is enacting innovative education reforms or implementing programs that go beyond marginal or incremental changes to improve student outcomes on a large scale.
The Corporate Award recognizes a corporation or nonprofit that demonstrates a sustained commitment to improving public education in the United States.
