How do I Apply for The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards?
If you are a student in grades 5-12 who has made a difference through volunteering over the past year, you could win $1,000 and a fabulous trip to Washington, D.C., next May by applying for a Prudential Spirit of Community Award! Even more importantly, you could win recognition that might inspire other young people to follow your example.
