How would you change the world with $1 million?

The Hult Prize Competition is a call to action for the world’s brightest minds to tackle the world’s most pressing issues. The case study, which changes every year, is selected, announced, and narrated by President Bill Clinton. The theme for this year’s Hult Prize competition is: Improving Childhood Education.

Hult Prize at Johns Hopkins University is a quarterfinals competition, where the winning team will bypass the general application round and advance directly into the Hult Prize regional finals. Student teams of three to five students from JHU schools make up a competing entry. The competition is open to current JHU students only; this includes undergraduate, graduate and PhD students. Teams can include up to one alumnus, who is not also a JHU faculty member. The competition is on November 15th.
