Have you taken the virtual tour of the Mises Institute? This is where the summer fellows will research, write, and present papers, in what will likely be the most intellectually stimulating experience of their academic lives.
The summers at the Mises Institute are packed with programs for our summer fellows and visiting scholars. You will stay in Auburn for three months to study and research, with Joseph T. Salerno, professor of economics at Pace University, Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute, as well as other resident and local faculty, and attend the many events of the summer. Historian Thomas Woods will also be available to provide guidance and mentoring. It is a serious but fun-filled experience that will prove to be the most valuable of your student life.
We are taking applications for our summer fellows now.If you only want to attend one or several programs, fill out the same application and specify which you would like to attend.

With regard to the main job, research and writing, these students are in an enviable position: they have time and energy to pursue new research and let reading take them to new ideas and applications. It is a window of opportunity in one's academic career in which the demands of teaching loads and tenure applications are not weighing on them. Our magnificent libraries and technology make this possible, and make possible the cultivation of a new generation.
You can take a virtual tour of the Mises Institute. If you would like to sponsor a student, a gift of $1,120 covers meals, housing, and materials.
