Campus Scholar Program - Remote

Overview

FIRE is excited to offer a year-long, paid, remote program as part of our efforts to educate and empower students on American college and university campuses. This opportunity gives current undergraduates the opportunity to collaborate with FIRE in defending civil liberties on campuses across the country, while also working with our staff to create and build a personal project to promote FIRE’s mission on their own campuses.

This experience is remote. The 2025 fall semester program will begin on October 6, 2025 and run remotely until May 1, 2026. Campus Scholars will receive a stipend of $2,000 upon completion of the program and their project in December.

The application process closes on Friday, September 20, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).
