Nominees are assessed based on clearly defined and transparent criteria, including:
-
Personal reflections on a given theme or topic
-
Other awards and recognitions received at local, national, or international levels
-
Active involvement in community service and contribution to society
This rigorous evaluation ensures that the Awards not only celebrate talent but also character, empathy, and responsibility.
Beyond Achievements
To be recognized as one of the Outstanding Students of the World, candidates are expected to demonstrate:
-
Personal growth – showing how they have developed themselves through challenges and opportunities.
-
Understanding and inclusion – embracing diversity and fostering empathy in their communities.
-
Contribution to school or extracurricular organisations – proving that their actions, motivated by the right reasons, can make a meaningful difference.
It is not just about winning a prize, but about telling a story of resilience, creativity, and leadership that inspires others.
Inspiring Change
The Awards highlight the belief that young leaders, with the right ideals and intentions, can indeed change the world. Many of the stories shared by nominees demonstrate how small steps—whether starting a school club, volunteering in local communities, or creating art that raises awareness—can grow into initiatives with global impact.
By recognising these achievements, the Awards encourage young people everywhere to dream bigger, act with compassion, and lead with courage.
To be one of the Outstanding Students of the world, you are expected to show how you have developed yourselves, understanding and inclusion, whether in school-based activities or through an extracurricular club or organisation. It will be a chance to tell your stories and demonstrate how individual actions, motivated by the right reasons, can make a meaningful difference.
Many of the examples will, no doubt, show that young leaders, with the correct ideals and intentions, can indeed change the world around them, and that initial small steps can lead on to something much bigger.
