Dear Friend,
Next week we announce the 2024 Publius and Lincoln Fellows!
These yearly “big reveals” are a source of genuine pride for Claremont staff—and excitement for our alumni. After all, nestled within each cohort are future Mollie Hemingways and Mark Levins. Or Chris Rufo and Ben Shapiro. Or Senator Tom Cotton, Charlie Kirk, and Michael Knowles.
This impressive list goes back to our inaugural Publius class in 1979. To explore our classes by year, click HERE. And for a deeper dive into some of their personalities, check out our fellow Spotlight series, HERE.
As an organization, we shy away from needless bragging. But if something is true, allow me this slight bit of immodesty. The Claremont Fellowship—beginning with Publius and now expanded out to Lincoln, John Marshall, Speechwriters, and Sheriffs—was the first program of its kind in America.
We set the standard forty-five years ago, and it remains to this day. Other organizations have, over the years, launched similar educational initiatives. And I say, the more the merrier. But there is nothing quite like a Claremont Institute Fellowship.
These fellowships would not exist without your support. Indeed, as our class sizes grow (to meet the wonderful demand), stable funding takes on a heighted significance. Now, more than any time in our history, we ask our friends to please consider a gift to fund—and sustain—the next generation of the best and most promising young writers, lawyers, activists, academics, entrepreneurs, and public servants.
Thank you,
