5 Things to know about Jack Schlossberg, JFK's Only and equally Dreamy Grandson
The 24-year-old descendent of the late 35th president, John F. Kennedy, has been stepping into public life as of late, thanks to his involvement with the Profile in Courage Award as a member of the committee.
The annual honor, which is given in the former president's memory, is not only a celebration of the honoree's dedication to public service and leading with their conscience, but has also given Schlossberg the opportunity to help carry on his grandfather's legacy.

He got his diploma from Yale University in 2015 with a degree in history and a concentration on Japanese history. Soon, he will start at Harvard Law School.
3. His career is a work in progress.
