Dear Brad,
I wanted to reach out to your organization to see if there are ways we can work together to help any students and young professionals you work with meet their educational and intellectual goals. As you might know, the Institute for Humane Studies offers internships, scholarships, and interdisciplinary conferences for liberty-oriented students and graduates of all majors.
I think our programs would be a nice compliment to the student programs your organization is running -- a way for your alumni and prospects to receive additional support as they advance liberty. I'm writing to ask for your help in letting the students you work with know about these opportunities. I hope you will pass along the information below to any alumni or prospects that you think would benefit. Or if you personally know anyone you think would be ideal for our programs, please let me know so I can get in touch with them.
Brief descriptions of our current programs are below. I’m particularly excited about our paid state policy internships. We're now able to place interns at non-profits in more than 30 states to work on public policy at the state level.
If you would like any additional information or have any questions, please let me know!
Many thanks for your help,
Liz
