About Global Student Prize Offered By Varkey Foundation

The Varkey Foundation has launched the Chegg.org Global Student Prize this year, a US$50,000 sister award to the Global Teacher Prize, to highlight the efforts of extraordinary students throughout the world that are making a real impact on learning, the lives of their peers and on society beyond.

Chegg.org is the impact, advocacy, and research arm of Chegg: addressing the issues facing the modern student. The Global Student Prize is open to all students who are at least 16 years old and enrolled in an academic institution or training and skills programme. Part time students as well as students enrolled in online courses are also eligible for the prize.

Today’s students are burdened with so many challenges: living through the greatest disruption to learning in history, shouldering high levels personal debt, and navigating a job market that is undergoing rapid transformation in the midst of an economic crisis. But as the burden of the past falls on students’ shoulders, they have the power to change the world and build their future.

Students applying for the Global Student Prize will be assessed on their academic achievement, impact on their peers, how they make a difference in their community and beyond, how they overcome the odds to achieve, how they demonstrate creativity and innovation, and how they operate as global citizens.

The Global Student Prize will be narrowed down to a Top 50 shortlist. From the Top 50 finalists, the Top 10 finalists will be announced later in the year, helping to provide worldwide recognition for high achieving students. The winner of the prize will be chosen by the Global Student Prize Academy, made up of prominent individuals from around the world, and will be announced live at a ceremony later in the year.

You can nominate a student or apply for the Global Student Prize, the closing date for applications is Friday 30 April 2021.
