International Education Awards
2007 Goldman Sachs Foundation Youth Prize
Asia Society and The Goldman Sachs Foundation are pleased to announce the 2007 Goldman Sachs Foundation Youth Prize for Excellence in International Education. The 2007 competition asks students to select a problem or challenge that affects their local community as well as a community outside the United States; to create an in-depth written, audio, video, or animated feature that compares and contrasts how these two communities have addressed the issue; and to explain why these approaches reflect the different cultural backgrounds of those involved, and what lessons the different communities could learn from each other. Five winners will be selected and will receive up to $10,000 each as well as an all-expense paid trip to New York City in early November 2007 where they will be recognized at Asia Society's Gala Annual Dinner.
Please visit

for the Youth Prize is June 11, 2007.
Also, the 2007 Goldman Sachs Foundation Prizes for Elementary/Middle
Schools, High Schools, States, and Media/Technology Organizations will
be announced in the next month. Please check back soon at
