The Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Courage is awarded to
someone whose personal courage has positively affected public discourse and the quality of life and living for his or
her community at the
risk of his or her own career, livelihood or life. The Prize includes a
$100,000 grant and is awarded in honor of Ivan Allen Jr., who was a pivotal national
leader during America's struggle for racial integration during the 1960s. The
Prize is made possible through a grant from the Wilbur and Hilda Glenn Family
Foundation and was awarded last year to former Senator Sam Nunn.
Nominations are now being sought for review by the nominating
committee composed of faculty, students and public members, to pass along to Georgia
Tech President G. P. “Bud” Peterson for final selection. To nominate an
individual for the Prize, please send an e-mail by July 20, 2011, identifying your candidate’s
name and country of residence, and including a brief explanation in support of
your candidate and your personal contact information to ivanallenprize@gatech.edu.
