Honors Program Fellows Group Shot

The ISI Honors Program is a highly selective yearlong mentoring fellowship for fifty of the nation’s most promising undergraduates.

“The Honors Program has literally been one of the most important intellectual events of my life. I came away from the summer conference with a good sense of the direction I want to go academically and personally.”
—ISI Honors Fellow, Yale University

Honors Fellows are assigned an Academic Mentor who guides them through reading projects and advises on intellectual questions and career options. Fellows explore the West’s intellectual tradition at a weeklong, all-expenses paid summer conference, at weekend colloquia, and through online correspondence.

“I take heart in knowing that there is a broad community that shares questions which concern me and am, vitally, compelled to continue my own studies with greater tenacity and thoughtfulness.”
—ISI Honors Fellow, Louisiana State University

Fellows receive an array of ISI publications, including American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia and Modern Age, and are notified of employment, fellowship, and internship opportunities.

“The Honors Program has helped me to better understand the complexity of the debates that constitute our contemporary political discourse, as well as to see new ways of approaching the problems that we each face separately as individuals and that we face together as citizens of our nation.”
—ISI Honors Fellow, University of Texas
