NESTA recognizes exceptional achievement and service through four levels of awards.

Certificates of Appreciation are presented to those who contribute to the well-being of the organization.

Honorary Membership is awarded to selected teachers and board members.

Distinguished Service Awards are for officers and volunteers who provide dedicated service.

Fellow nominees are five-year members who contribute substantially to Earth Science education and to NESTA itself.

Jan and Stoney Award: The Jan Woerner/ Harold Stonehouse Award is given semi-annually at the discretion of the NESTA Executive Board in recognition of an individual or organization's efforts in promoting Earth science education in keeping with the goals of NESTA.
