Citizens Thinkers Writers awarded Teagle Grant

February 1, 2019

Citizens Thinkers Writers (CTW) has been awarded $300,000 over 36 months by the Teagle Foundation. CTW students participate in an intensive two-week residential program that explores the theme of civic life from the perspectives of philosophers, historians, poets, and social theorists. During the academic year, students collaborate on a research project, engage with guest speakers, and are supported through the college application process by their undergraduate mentors. Grant funds will help further students’ leadership development by having them organize liberal arts programming for younger students in their high schools during the academic year. CTW will organize a conference in 2021-‘22 to share this program model and learn from other programs in the field.
