SPONSOR: INSTITUTE FOR HUMANE STUDIES
PURPOSE: To support research in the humanities.

SUMMARY: Humane Studies Fellowships, begun in 1983 as Claude R. Lambe
Fellowships, are awarded by the Institute for Humane Studies to support
the work of outstanding students interested in the classical liberal/
libertarian tradition. The core principles of this tradition include
the recognition of individual rights and the dignity and worth of each
individual; protection of these rights through the institutions of
private property, contract, and the rule of law, and through freely
evolved intermediary institutions; and voluntarism in all human
relations, including the unhampered market mechanism in economic
affairs and the goals of free trade, free migration, and peace.
Approximately 90 scholarships covering tuition and stipend are awarded
each year to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. In 1999,
successful applicants received awards totaling over $400,000.
Awards are for students pursuing degrees at any accredited domestic or
foreign school and are based on academic performance, demonstrated
interest in classical liberal ideas, and potential to contribute to
the advancement of a free society.
