Profile in Courage Essay Contest

I hope this note finds you well, and that the school year is off to a strong start. My name is Esther Kohn—I manage the JFK Library’s annual Profile in Courage Essay Contest. I wanted to be the first to let you know that this year’s Profile in Courage Essay Contest has officially opened to U.S. high school students!

Now more than ever, it’s crucial that students learn about elected officials who were guided by their conscience to make decisions for the greater good. That’s why each year, we invite high school students to submit an essay on an elected official who demonstrated political courage. Twenty-five students will be recognized and the first-place winner will receive $10,000 for college! Essay submissions are now open. The contest deadline is January 13th, 2023.

Learn more about the contest requirements and deadlines, and information about how you can incorporate the essay into your curriculum.
