Dan David Prize

|
The Dan David Prize annually gives three $1 million prizes to honor achievements aimed at understanding or impacting the world. There are three categories of prize — the Past, Present and Future. The topics vary from year to year. In addition to the three $1 million prizes, each year the laureates donate the money for 20 scholarships around the world, and 20 scholarships at Tel Aviv University.
The Prizes have been offered each year since 2002, making the Dan David Prize a relative newcomer to the arena of large global prizes.
