WISE Awards accepting nominations for 2017 honors

The WISE Awards, held each year since 2009, aim to bring attention to and help address global education challenges.

Since the launch, the program has recognized 48 international projects that are innovative and promote change for good. Some topics covered by previous winning projects include education in emergency situations, life-long learning opportunities and a chance at quality education.

The recipients of the WISE Awards collaborate with other effective and revolutionary organizations in order to get exposure and opportunities to promote their cause or project on a variety of platforms.

Events like the summit, WISE communications and publications help promote the winning projects. In addition, winners are given $20,000.

WISE aims to contribute to the developing network of innovative thinkers and doers who are interested in sharing and bettering the education industry.

The WISE website is the best way to nominate or apply for the 2017 WISE Awards.
