Announcing the newest members of the Claremont family Dear John, We are delighted to announce the newest members of the Claremont family: the 2021 Publius Fellows. Every summer the Publius Fellowship brings together a selective group of promising young conservative leaders to study the distinctive moral and political principles of the American constitutional order. In over forty intensive daily seminars and relaxed evening symposia, Publius Fellows discuss political philosophy and American government with some of the most distinguished scholars in the nation. This year's program will take place from June 26 - July 17, 2021 in San Diego, CA. Publius Fellowships are awarded to highly qualified college seniors, recent college graduates, graduate students, and individuals in the early stages of promising careers in scholarship, journalism, media, business, technology, or government.
