History
Educating for Liberty: Inspiring college students to discover, embrace, and advance the principles and virtues that make America free and prosperous. Since 1953 the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) has been teaching future leaders the timeless principles that make America free and prosperous--the core ideas behind the free market, the American Founding, and Western civilization that are rarely taught in the classroom. Today ISI has more than 10,000 student members on some 1,500 campuses across the country. The Institute reaches these and thousands of other young people through an integrated program of campus speakers, conferences, seminars, publications, student groups, and fellowships and scholarships, along with a rich repository of online resources.
Specialties
