Research Symposium: American Freedom and Liberty

Florida Atlantic University's Jack Miller Forum (JMF) is funding two undergraduate research grants, and one graduate research grant. Each award is $250 dollars.

This is a great opportunity to be a funded researcher, as well as meet and work with and get feedback from a distinguished scholar from a top research university.

General support for the conference was provided by the Department of Political Science at Florida Atlantic University, the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts & Letters, the National Endowment of the Humanities and the Jack Miller Center.
