Attention Upper Division Undergrads and Grad Students!
The Ron Paul Scholars Seminar is back! This year we will celebrate our FOURTH class of Ron Paul Scholars and that means if you are a student interested in peace and prosperity, a non-interventionist foreign policy, the Liberty movement, and in making contacts in your peer group who are not stuck in the mental prison of our political duopoly, we would love to have you apply to be a 2024 Ron Paul Scholar!
What is it?
The Ron Paul Scholars Seminar is a one-day, interactive foreign policy and civil liberties “boot camp,” with lectures from some of the most thoughtful pro-liberty/pro-peace experts. Past lecturers have included US Rep. Thomas Massie, former CIA officer Phil Giraldi, former US Diplomat and Senate Staff Member James Jatras, Future of Freedom Foundation founder Jacob Hornberger, bestselling author James Bovard, and many more.
This year our lecturers will include TJ Roberts (2019 Ron Paul Scholar and Republican nominee to the Kentucky House of Representatives), Antiwar.com News Editor Dave DeCamp, and many more to be announced.
While some of the lectures are delivered by recognized academics, these are not dry sessions of theoretical material. There is plenty of give and take and Q&A involved. Most of all, as Dr. Paul always advises, they are a lot of fun and a great opportunity to meet and develop connections with like-minded peers.
We will start with a group dinner at the hotel near the Dulles Washington DC Airport on 29 August, spend the next day in the Seminar, and then RPI 2024 Scholars will attend the Ron Paul Institute’s annual Washington DC conference the following day and will be honored at a reserved table at the event. Finally, 2024 Scholars will be invited to mingle with conference speakers and Dr. Paul at the VIP post-conference reception.
Hang on…How Can I Afford This?
The Ron Paul Institute will book a hotel room (double occupancy) for Thursday and Friday night and will provide a $500 scholarship for each scholar to cover travel and related costs. Additional expenses may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Here’s The Most Important Part…
Successful applicants will understand that this is a program demanding a high level of independence and self-reliance. Scholars are expected to make their own travel arrangements and act very quickly. Think of it as a “pop-up” internship.
Interested students are asked to fill out this application form and submit it by August 1st. Successful applicants will be notified by August 4th and will be expected to make travel plans very quickly.
Plan to arrive by Thursday afternoon on the 30th of August and to attend our pre-event dinner with a special speaker.
There are only ten available places in this year’s program and the competition is stiff, so interested students should waste no time applying.
Apply now!
