THE MAJORITY OF KNOWLEDGE FOR FREEDOM PROGRAMS BEGIN WITH A PLANNING GRANT. Deadline is for Concept Paper; full proposals are by invitation only and are due subsequently. 36 month grant term.

The Knowledge for Freedom initiative supports programs that invite underserved high school students to college to study humanity’s deepest questions about leading lives of purpose and civic responsibility. Between the junior and senior years of high school, students come into residence on a college campus, where they experience the intensity of a seminar-sized discussion taught by college professors focused on major works of philosophy and literature. Over the following year, while applying to college as high school seniors, the students engage in civic initiatives inspired by the recognition that their lives are interconnected with the lives of others. Grants of varying amounts, ranging from $100,000- $300,000 over a 36-month period, will be made to each funded project participating in this initiative. The size of the grant will be based on the scope of the project.
