Each year, The Jed Foundation (JED) honors one high school student and one college student doing outstanding work to create communities of care in their schools. Student Voice of Mental Health Award recipients are advocates raising mental health awareness by leading thoughtful, impactful initiatives; increasing connection and belonging; encouraging their peers to reach out for help; and building support systems for youth mental health and suicide prevention in their school or campus communities.
Award winners receive:
- A $3,000 cash scholarship
- A trip to New York City to receive the award at the JED Gala on June 4, 2025
- Recognition on JED’s website and social media platforms
- Ongoing opportunities to collaborate with JED
