North Carolina Cooperative Extension strives to uphold a fundamental philosophy of recognizing the achievements of our outstanding employees. To bring this philosophy to reality, NCCE provides awards recognizing employees for their accomplishments and service with the organization.

We invite you to acknowledge the work of your colleagues by submitting a nomination for one or more of our many awards. Through the generosity and commitment of many donors, there are many categories of awards for all of our employees.

To find the best category for nominating a colleague’s or team’s contributions, review the Award Programs for Extension Employees guide.

You may also nominate yourself for any of the awards within the established criteria.

Please fill out the online registration form as well as upload a PDF of your application packet that includes a narrative of your record of accomplishments that meets the requirements for each award you are applying for and reference letters. Award Winners will be announced at the Fall District meetings. We will not announce the winners in advance.

Extension Awards How To and Guidelines

Nominations are due by August 11. Contact anyone in Extension Administration with questions.

You have worked hard to enhance the lives of many, so please garner the recognition that awaits you!
