The Earth Prize

About this scholarship

The Earth Prize is a global environmental sustainability competition for students ages 13 to 19. The official site is currently accepting registrations for the 2027 competition and advertises a $100,000 annual shared prize pool, along with learning resources, a worldwide student community, and mentoring that helps participants turn an environmental idea into a practical solution. This is not a single $100,000 scholarship paid to one student. In the most recently completed published structure, funding was divided among regional winning teams, and the sponsor’s 2027 registration page does not yet publish the new cycle’s individual allocation or closing date. Those details are therefore left unguessed and should be checked in the official rules when released. Students may tackle sustainability problems such as waste and overconsumption, plastics, food systems, water or air pollution, nonrenewable energy, biodiversity loss, climate change, deforestation, drought, ocean degradation, or land degradation. A strong project should define a real problem, develop an original and feasible response, use credible evidence, identify stakeholders, explain implementation, and show how the solution can create measurable impact. Participants should register through the direct student route now, use the sponsor’s learning and community resources to develop the idea, and watch the official dashboard for the submission form, team rules, prize breakdown, and deadline.
