The MacJannet Foundation, committed to building a community of global citizens, and the Talloires Network, dedicated to promoting the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education, were proud to announce the first-ever MacJannet Prize in June 2009.

The MacJannet Prize recognizes exceptional student civic engagement initiatives based in universities around the world and contributes financially to their ongoing public service efforts.

Initiatives meriting the MacJannet Prize should creatively address an important social issue that is local, national, or global in scope (e.g. poverty, health, education, peace, etc.).  These programs must have had a significant and positive effect on the issue and on individuals or communities.  The cash portion of the Prize must be used to continue the work of the recognized program and to deepen its impact.
