Essay
Contest for High School Students
The annual John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest
invites high school students from across the nation to write an original essay
about an elected official who has demonstrated political courage. The
contest is a companion program of the Profile in Courage Award, named for
President Kennedy’s 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Profiles in
Courage, which recounts the stories of eight senators, the obstacles
they faced, and the special valor they demonstrated despite the risks.
Winning essayists will receive awards totaling up to $13,500.
The first-place winner will be invited to accept the award at the Profile in
Courage Award Ceremony hosted each May by Caroline Kennedy at the John F.
Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. To encourage student
leadership and civic engagement, the nominating teacher of the first-place
winner will receive a John F. Kennedy Public Service Grant for $500.
The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation gratefully
acknowledges John Hancock Financial Services for its generous
support of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest.
The Profile in Courage Essay Contest is
approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
