The Foundation for the Restoration of America (FFROA) awarded a $10,000 scholarship to University of Dallas student Elise DeGeeter following her completion of the Constitutional Study Program.

DeGeeter is from Katy, Texas and is currently pursuing a degree in Theology with a minor in Political Philosophy. After taking the free courses in the Constitutional Study Program provided through Hillsdale College, she reflected on the benefit of the program.

“With the great divisiveness in political society and the doubts so many young people have about the proper role of the government, the necessity of understanding the basis of America—her very foundation—becomes ever more crucial to the needs of our time … The Constitutional Study Program offered me a deep dive into the founders' ideals and even their minds in crafting the Constitution, opening a window to see the beauty that is America,” she said.

The Foundation’s Executive Director Christine Altenberger noted that she feels confident about the future with young Americans like DeGeeter.

“Elise is a bright young woman that showed tremendous diligence through the Constitutional Study Program,” she said. “I’m reassured knowing that she will be able to take what she learned from these courses and apply it as a future leader in our nation.”

To be eligible to apply for a scholarship, students must have completed the “Constitution 101” and “Introduction to the Constitution” FREE online courses through Hillsdale College. Visit https://www.ffroa.com/constitutional-study-program/ to learn more.
