The Harvard Book Prize is awarded to an outstanding Junior year student selected by the faculty of each participating high school, based on academic excellence, exceptional personal qualities and significant contribution to school or community. Each winner receives a personally inscribed copy of “The Harvard Book”, an anthology of essays written by Harvard alumni spanning three centuries.
Since 1910, the Harvard Book Prize has been an important way for Harvard Club members to help attract talented young people to Harvard and the opportunities in Cambridge. Harvard Book Prize books are presented annually in more than 2,000 high schools around the world, and are made available through generous donations from individual Harvard Club members.
Through the Harvard Book Prize program, we at the Harvard Club of Silicon Valley hope to raise the visibility of Harvard among local secondary schools, and to encourage outstanding students in our area to consider applying to Harvard. We especially thank our members and friends who have generously contributed, and appreciate your continued support through future donations.
