***Important:***  If you are from Montana, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Texas, or Tennessee, you are not eligible to apply for this award.  Our state chapter in your state runs a parallel state awards program.  The winner of that state award automatically is considered for the national award.  We encourage you to apply for that state award.


CoSN’s Withrow CTO Award recognizes an exceptional district CTO who serves as a true technology champion and whose leadership has been transformative for their school system. The award honors Frank Withrow, a pioneer and champion of K-12 education technology.

Chief Technology Officers (or equivalent) from all types of schools—public, charter, private, parochial, or independent—are eligible for the Withrow CTO Award. Nominees must be CoSN members. CoSN Board members and their institutions are ineligible for CoSN awards.

CoSN Chapters are allowed to submit one nominee from their state for each award.  If your chapter submits a nominee, no other submissions from that state will be considered. Only current CoSN members may be considered for the CoSN Withrow Award.
