Princeton Prize in Race Relations

High school students in grades 9 through 12 across the United States who demonstrate leadership advancing racial equity or promoting racial understanding through volunteer action may apply.

Winners receive $2,500 and are invited to present their work at the Symposium on Race at Princeton University, networking with fellow recipients, Princeton students, alumni, and faculty. More than 25 awards are granted across U.S. regions.

Complete a two-part online application: a student submission with written responses about your racial equity project, plus an unrelated adult sponsor who witnessed the work. Print applications are not accepted.

The Princeton Prize in Race Relations recognizes students committed to racial justice through community involvement.
