DOE has selected 21 winners in the 2024 Renew Americas Schools Prize and Grant to receive $300,000 for building diverse teams, identifying portfolios of schools and facilities in need of investment, and outlining processes for project planning and design.
Under the prize-to-cooperative agreement funding model, 16 of these prize winners will move on from the Phase One: Prize to Phases Two and Three: Cooperative Agreement and enter into cooperative agreements with DOE for a chance to win from $7.5 to $15 million each. DOE will continue to provide technical assistance to all 21 winners in the continued pursuit of their energy efficiency and clean energy goals.
