Alongside the Chegg.org Global Student Prize, this year sees the launch of the $25,000 Chegg.org US Student Prize!
Applications and nominations are now open for the 2025 Chegg.org Global Student Prize. Chegg.org partnered with the Varkey Foundation to launch a sister award to the Global Teacher Prize in 2021. Now in its fifth year, the award was created as a powerful platform to highlight incredible students who are making a real impact on learning, the lives of their peers, and society beyond.
Excitingly, this year also marks the launch of a brand-new award—the $25,000 US Student Prize! All US students who apply for the Global Student Prize will automatically be considered for this new award. The top 10 finalists for the US Student Prize will be announced later in the year, with the winner revealed just before the top 10 finalists for the Global Student Prize are announced.
Who can apply?
The prize is open to all students who are at least 16 years old and enrolled in an academic institution or training and skills program. Part-time students and students enrolled in online courses are also eligible for the prize.
The prize will be narrowed down to a Top 50 shortlist and Top 10 finalists, to be announced later in the year, helping provide worldwide recognition for high-achieving students. The winner, announced later in the year, will be chosen from the top 10 finalists by the Global Student Prize Academy, made up of prominent individuals.
What are the judging criteria?
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.
