Junior Book Award Program

Thank you for nominating your student(s) for the Junior Book Award Program. The Office of Undergraduate Admission will award the book up to ten female, non-binary, genderfluid, and/or transgender-identifying high school juniors who exemplify the qualities of a Simmons University student, including leadership, community service, caring for family, passion for all social justice, climate change, and acts of kindness; and embody one or more of our core values.

This year's Book Award will be Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet. Please note nominations do not guarantee a book award, as limited books will be available. 

Spring 2025 nominations are open until April 10th, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. E.T.

Any nominations submitted after April 10th may be considered for our Tier 2 Junior Excellence Award. (This is not a guaranteed award)
