The Princeton Prize in Race Relations

The Princeton Prize in Race Relations

In order to apply for the Princeton Prize, the candidate must currently be enrolled in grades 9-12.

It's time again to begin our search for the next South Florida highschool student working to break down racial and ethnic barriers in our community.

Thanks to Miami-Dade Schools Director of Student Services Sharon Krantz, I had the opportunity to speak to many of you last week, and I'm writing to you all now because highschool counselors and advisors are our best resource for reaching eligible students.

The Princeton Prize is an award given to high school aged students whose efforts have had a significant positive effect on race or ethnic relations in their schools or communities.  It is awarded in South Florida by the Princeton Club of South Florida in conjunction with Miami-Dade and Broward Schools and the Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board. 

All the information you and your students will need about the Princeton Prize is available at:

Princeton Prize recipients are invited to the Princeton University campus to participate in a national symposium on race relations in America. 

Now, more than ever, help us recognize your students who are building bridges over the divides in our community.
