The University of Pennsylvania recently launched the President’s Engagement Prizes, which will allow students to obtain up to $150,000 to take on local, national or global engagement projects the first year after they graduate.

An eligible project, for example, could be one that creates an institutional food recovery program to aid local food banks or even instating an initiative that empowers youth in a different country.
