American Enterprise Institute (AEI) Summer Honors Program & Academy

The Summer Honors Program at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is an intensive, fully-funded educational and professional development opportunity for top undergraduate students. Situated in the heart of Washington, DC, this program provides participants the opportunity to connect with the ideas, research, and network of AEI–one of America’s preeminent policy think tanks. This will occur during an intensive one-week seminar led by an AEI scholar or partner instructor.


This program is fully paid for and includes a stipend, which means that it is a nearly free opportunity for students to be able to learn about issues facing the United States from industry professionals and top educators at the university level. The topics are vast and the networking and learning experiences are unique for the selected students.
