Scholarships

The Socrates Program offers scholarship support to offset seminar tuition.

The Aspen Institute seeks leaders from diverse backgrounds for our Socrates program, believing that varied perspectives create the most engaging dialogue and productive debate essential to Socratic exploration.

We offer scholarships based on professional background, personal circumstances, and financial need. Participants are identified through alumni nominations, Institute community referrals, and direct applications from those who would enhance our seminar discussions.
