Across the country, college students face an academic culture increasingly hostile to free inquiry and moral tradition. They are pressured into ideological conformity that seeks to dismantle the principles that built our great nation. Promising conservative students are often marginalized purely for their beliefs.

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) exists to find these students and form them.

For more than seventy years, ISI has identified ambitious young conservatives with exceptional promise and provided them with the intellectual formation, moral grounding, and confidence needed to flourish. We are uniquely equipped to help students survive the modern university, receive a serious education, find an encouraging conservative network, and shape the future of our great nation.

Through rigorous programs and close mentorship, ISI educates students in the principles of a free and just society. This transformative education helps students successfully emerge from their university with virtue, clarity, boldness, and courage to defend what is true. Our alumni go on to occupy the commanding heights of American life, from academia and journalism to government and law.

To defend America’s great legacy and ensure it endures, we ask for your support. You can help give conservative students a serious education grounded in truth and ordered liberty that prepares them for a life of leadership.
