Each year, the Declaration Center sponsors a number of student Freedom Fellows. Fellows work to promote an academic campus culture that encourages reflection on the meaning, value, and legacy of American freedom. Each Freedom Fellow is given a stipend to fund a special project proposed by the student. The fellowship is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
Responsibilities of the fellowship include:
- propose and complete a special project;
- participate in the Declaration Center reading group;
- share his or her perspective with other students, faculty, and administrators in an official capacity (participate in a student panel, serve on a university committee, etc.)
To apply to be an Freedom Fellow for the 2022-2023 school year, please provide answers to the following prompts and email them to the Declaration Center (freedom@olemiss.edu) by September 1, 2022.
