The Princeton Prize is an initiative to honor students in grades 9-12 who are promoting the cause of race relations in their schools and communities. The top winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize and an all-expenses paid trip to Princeton University for a symposium on race relations, where s/he will meet all the other winners from around the country. The committee is particularly interested in applications from students who have initiated or taken leadership roles in race-relations activities.
Applications are due on January 31. 2015. More information about the program, including an application, can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/pprize. The Princeton Prize is also on Facebook at www.facebook.com/princetonprize.
