テッド・ケネディの手からジェラルド・フォードに贈られた賞（2001年）

勇気ある人々賞（英語: Profile in Courage Award、プロファイル・イン・カレッジ・アワード）は、アメリカの私設の賞で、先にジョン・F・ケネディの著書『勇気ある人々』（原書1956年刊『Profiles in Courage』）で資質を述べた〔勇気のしるし〕を表彰する。対象は個人（しばしば公選代議士）とし、一般の世論あるいは行政その他の地域の関心にそむいてでも、連邦や州または地域がいだくより広壮な理想を追求し、キャリアや人生を危険にさらしてでも自分の良心を貫いた者とする。

受賞者の選考にあたる委員会はジョン・F・ケネディ図書館財団が指名し、ケネディ家の他、著名なアメリカ人で構成される。通常は毎年、ケネディ元大統領の誕生日（5月29日）前後にマサチューセッツ州ボストンのジョン・F・ケネディ記念図書館で表彰式を行い授与する。授与者は元大統領の長女キャロライン・ケネディ元駐日大使が務める。生前に授与者の座にあった人物は、元大統領の実弟エドワード・ケネディとジョン・フィッツジェラルド・ケネディ父子、ジャクリーン・ケネディ元大統領夫人である。

生涯功労賞の受賞者にジョン・ルイス（2001年）とウィリアム・ウィンター（2008年）のふたりがある。

受賞の記念トロフィーはクリスタルガラスとスターリングシルバーを組み合わせたランタン型。エドウィン・シュロスバーグがデザインしてティファニーが納め、その原型はアメリカ海軍に在籍する唯一で最後の帆船の軍艦コンスティチューション（1797年進水）に艤装された提灯である。この帆船は表彰会場の近くに係留し展示されている。
