自2011年起每两年颁发一次, the Aspen Prize recognizes institutions that achieve strong student outcomes across four key areas:

• 教与学
• Degree completion and successful transfer to four-year institutions
• 职场成功
• 为不同的学生群体提供公平的结果

在2020年剩下的时间里, the Aspen Institute will work with a team of national experts to complete a rigorous review process to determine the eventual winner of the prize. This encompasses a comprehensive examination of outcomes data as well as multi-day virtual site visits to each of the 10 finalist institutions.

2021年初, a distinguished jury will convene to select the prize winner, 优胜入围者, and a rising star and allocate a $1 million award among them. The winner will be announced at a May 2021 event in Washington, D.C.
