The MacJannet Prize recognizes exceptional student civic engagement initiatives based in Talloires Network member universities around the world and contributes financially to their ongoing public service efforts. It is a program of 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.
Eight prizes will be awarded in 2010, one (1) First Prize of $5,000, two (2) Second Prizes of $2,500 each, and five (5) Third Prizes of $1,000 each. Prize money will be used to further the goals and strengthen the impact of the awarded programs. Winning programs will demonstrate exemplary service in addressing an issue of global significance such as threats to public health in the developing world, efforts to promote literacy, or assisting the economic development of distressed communities. Only programs originating from member institutions of the Talloires Network are eligible for the Prize.
