Stanford Club Book Prize

Don Huse, Chair of the Stanford Book Club competition has just announced the details for this year's contest. Each year the Stanford alumni here in Singapore offer a Book Prize competition for Singapore's pre-university students. This will be the sixteenth consecutive year in which the Book Prize competition is being held. Our members believe that this competition is an excellent way to raise students' level of awareness about the opportunities in the US for university education, and especially about Stanford University, which has become one of the most popular schools in America for Singaporeans. This competition focuses on skills in writing, speaking, and communicating. It is designed to identify and recognize outstanding young individuals who demonstrate uncommon talent in school and the community and who have the potential for success in an American university environment. Three finalists are awarded Book Prizes at our Awards banquet, and the Grand Prize winner earns a trip to visit the Stanford campus.

Applications have been emailed to 23 schools for distribution to interested students. You may also take a look at the 2012 Application and, if you wish to apply, download it.

The application deadline is January 31. Judging will begin in February, and our winners will be announced at next year's Awards Banquet, targeted for early April
