2025-2026 Essay Prompt:
Over the course of its 250-year history, the United States has projected leadership abroad through a mix of hard and soft power. At the center of this effort has been the U.S. Foreign Service, the nation’s professional diplomatic corps, which carries out U.S. foreign policy and advances American interests overseas. From negotiating peace agreements and managing crises to fostering long-term alliances, the Foreign Service is the front-line institution of American diplomacy.
Soft power is how a country attracts and persuades others without force. It includes culture (music, films, books), educational and professional exchanges, independent, factbased news, and development and disaster aid. These tools help the United States build trust and lasting relationships.
In 2025, those tools took a significant hit. The U.S. Agency for International Development was dismantled; the U.S. Agency for Global Media (home to Voice of America) was effectively closed; most exchange programs, including Fulbright, were suspended; and the Foreign Service itself was cut by about 25 percent. How can the United States build and sustain relationships without these efforts?
In 1,000 to 1,500 words, make a case for one of two positions: either explain how the United States can maintain global leadership without these tools, or argue that it cannot—and why.
In either direction, focus on the role of the U.S. Foreign Service with fewer people and fewer tools. If you believe leadership can be sustained, lay out clear, realistic steps diplomats could take to achieve their goals. If you believe it cannot, show where capacity would fall short, which risks would rise, and what costs would follow.
Eligibility:
This contest is open to high school students in grades 9-12 who meet the following criteria:
You must be attending school in any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, or be a U.S. citizen/lawful permanent resident attending high school overseas.
You may attend a public, private, or parochial school. Home-schooled students are also welcome to participate.
Previous first-place winners and immediate family members of AFSA, Semester at Sea, and National Student Leadership Conference directors or staff are not eligible. However, if you’ve received an honorable mention or been a runner-up in the past, you are still eligible to enter.
Only students whose parents are not currently or have never been in the Foreign Service are eligible to submit.
Prizes:
First Place 1. Educational Voyage with Semester at Sea
2. Washington, DC visit for student and one family member to meet with State Department and AFSA leaders
3. Cash prize of $2,500
