For thirty-two years, Penguin Random House has supported the next generation of writers and promoted a diverse range of voices through the Penguin Random House Creative Writing Awards, which entered into an innovative new partnership with We Need Diverse Books (WNDB) in 2019. Through this program, Penguin Random House awards six U.S. high school seniors nationwide with college scholarships of up to $10,000. The program focuses on underrepresented communities and honors students who dare to be unique and are unafraid to take risks.
