The Ashbrook Center is a nationally recognized nonprofit academic center that seeks to educate Americans on the history and Founding principles of their country through the direct study of primary source documents.
Ashbrook Scholars are taught by some of the best history and government professors in the nation and often receive the opportunity to meet former presidents, U.S. Supreme Court justices, and other high-profile dignitaries and intellectuals who visit the Center.
“We are proud to select these students as Ashbrook Scholars out of recognition of their hard work and dedication to understanding the history and principles of America and becoming the kind of leaders our country needs,” said Jeffrey Sikkenga, the Executive Director of the Ashbrook Center. “For more than 30 years, the Ashbrook Center has been living up to its billing as the finest liberal arts program for students of politics and history in the nation.
“(North central Ohio) should be proud of the serious effort that these students have put in to get to this point in their intellectual academic journey.”
Ashbrook Scholars gain unique insight from the Center’s rigorous liberal arts curriculum, which uniquely emphasizes understanding the American story through the great texts and primary sources of our country rather than the third-hand accounts used by too many other programs.
