Details of Hertog Foundation Weekend Seminars
Applications are open for the Hertog Foundation Weekend Seminars 2020. The Hertog Weekend Seminars provide undergraduates, graduate students, and young professionals with the rare opportunity to engage in high-level intellectual discussion and debate on the most influential works in political thought and the most pressing policy issues facing the United States with renowned scholars, leading experts, and a community of peers from across the country.
Not a lecture or a conference, each seminar is centered around in-depth, student-driven dialogue on a set of curated readings. Seminars typically begin on a Friday evening and conclude Sunday afternoon.
Cost
- In addition to providing course materials, the Hertog Foundation covers all meals and travel and lodging costs.
Eligibility
- Open to current undergraduates, graduate students, and young professionals interested in moral, social, political, or strategic thought

- International applicants should be highly proficient in the English language, and all application materials, including essays and academic writing samples, must be submitted in English
