The James Madison Fellowship is a 10-month-long educational program for serious professionals who want both a deeper understanding of our current political predicament and a sharper view of what is needed to revitalize our American republic.

Fellows meet throughout the year for 10 sessions focusing on core issues and challenges to the American regime. These core issues and challenges include identity politics, immigration, marriage and family, free speech, the rule of law, political economy, and the aims of American foreign policy.

The discussions are led by Hillsdale faculty and distinguished friends. Learn more about its curriculum here.

After completing the Madison Fellowship, the new class of fellows will join the extensive and growing network of Hillsdale program alumni committed to restoring American self-government.
