Description
The Calihan Academic Grants, administered by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, provide financial assistance to scholars and students whose academic work shows outstanding potential to deepen understanding of theology and the principles of a free and virtuous society. These principles include human dignity, the rule of law, limited government, religious liberty, freedom in economic life, and the importance of the humanities and culture.

The program provides supplemental support, with preference for work closely connected to the Institute’s mission and intellectual themes.
