UL and the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) are excited to launch the fourth annual UL Innovative Education Award (ULIEA)! Eligible 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States and Canada who use innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) curricula to help K-12 students solve real-world environmental problems can apply to win up to $100,000.

Winners will be announced in August 2018.
