Potential applicants need a copy of the Baldrige Criteria for their sector
and a Baldrige Award Application Forms booklet. Once you receive the
booklet, the first step is to certify eligibility in one of the five Award
categories and submit the eligibility forms and the appropriate eligibility
fee. After certifying your eligibility, the second step is to submit the
application form, the appropriate application fees, and your application
report responding to the Criteria questions.
