Stanford Club of Singapore 2011 Book Prize Competition

27 October 2010
Stanford Club of Singapore 2011 Book Prize Competition
Deadline: 31 January 2011

Each year the Stanford Club of Singapore offer a Book Prize competition for Singapore’s pre-university students. This will be the fifteenth 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 2011 Application on our website and, if you wish to apply, download it here.

The application deadline is 31 January 2011. Judging will begin in February, and winners will be announced at the 2011 Awards Banquet, targeted for early April.
