The Institute for Humane Studies awards scholarships up to $12,000 for undergraduate or graduate study in the United States or abroad. Last year IHS awarded 120 scholarships to outstanding undergraduate, graduate, law, and professional students who are exploring the principles, practices, and institutions necessary to a free society through their academic work. The fellowship deadline is usually December 31; recommendation letters must be submitted by mid-January. Visit the webpage Humane Studies Fellowships for more information.
