I noticed the The Mises Community and Ayn Rand Institute sponsor scholarships for libertarian students who excel at their work and churn out papers that detail their opinions on "freedom." I would be interested in organizing with others a scholarship for leftists that would work similar principles into helping out a socialist student.

Would anyone be interested in talking this over? I'm financially secure, and would gladly contribute to such a scholarship. In lieu of the more hierarchical Mises approach, we could incorporate democracy into the scholarship acceptance program: anyone who submits something like $25 or more dollars to the fund has a vote. The GPA, essay, and all other (secure) information of each applicant would be sent out, and through a predetermined method, we would narrow down the list of candidates until one (or two, or three) winners are chosen.

I'll contribute $100. If interested, PM me or reply below. We'll need to set up a secure account that will ensure no foul play.

The Institute for Anarchist Studies provides funding for research related to anarchism, though I don't know about any general leftist scholariships.
