Connecting my best students to Mercatus training is one of the most important things I do as a professor—but the number of spots is limited. One of our programs can only accept one out of every ten applicants. Too many promising students are being turned away.

My success as an academic was thanks to dumb luck. If it weren’t for one lecture by an exceptional professor, I’d probably still be working at the shipyard. But it shouldn’t be a matter of dumb luck. That's why I want to give this opportunity to as many promising academic leaders as I can.

You can help expand Mercatus training to five promising new students next year. But I need your support now.
