The Ryan Prize for Community Service was established to honor the Ryans’ generous commitment to volunteer service on behalf of Northwestern University and the Chicago community. The Ryan Prize for Community Service will honor a graduating senior who exemplifies leadership and service through participation in university and community activities. Because Northwestern greatly values the Ryans’ extraordinary example of volunteerism and commitment to community, this prize and its recipient will be prominently recognized by the university. The Ryan Prize winner will be awarded $5,000 and recognized during Honors Ceremony on June 21, 2018. Finalists for the Ryan Prize will be contacted and may be asked to interview for 20 minutes with the selection committee on May 24, 2018. Applications will close on Sunday, May 13 at 11:59pm. You will be notified if you are a finalist by May 18, 2018. Questions can be directed to val.buchanan@northwestern.edu
