Princeton University celebrated 36 Princeton Prize in Race Relations (PPRR) award recipients — the most ever in the program's 21-year history — during the annual Princeton Prize Symposium on Race held on campus April 25-27. The high school students from across the United States were recognized for demonstrating leadership in advancing racial equity in their schools and communities.
Since PPRR's inception in 2003, Princeton has recognized more than 2,000 high school students across 29 U.S. regions and three at-large regions with the prize and certificates of accomplishment. Each Princeton Prize awardee received $1,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to the University for the symposium. Thirty-one of the 36 awardees attended the symposium.
