"The First Liberty Fellowship greatly expanded my knowledge about religious liberty, from its philosophical, moral, and political underpinnings to its application in law and society. Having received such excellent and instructive training, I feel very qualified to speak on behalf of religious liberty's essentiality to others." - Hillsdale College

Dan Grifferty
“The First Liberty fellowship really helped provide me with the intellectual framework and the practical tools I needed to understand why the fight for religious freedom is not only a necessary one, but one which requires constant vigil. I’ve gained the conviction that religious freedom must be the lifeblood of a prospering republic, and that without it, the American way of life can only decay. I carry this conviction with me now wherever I go, and thanks to the people at First Liberty, I feel that I have the confidence now to communicate this idea to other people.” - Hillsdale College

"The First Liberty Fellowship equipped me to make robust legal and political arguments for religious liberty. The speakers, including Dr. Ryan Anderson, Dr. Thomas Farr, and Ken Kluklowski were world-class and it was a rare privilege to hear from them. I would strongly commend this experience to anyone, whether aspiring law clerk or concerned citizen." - George Washington School of Law

"The First Liberty Fellowship was a captivating experience that expanded and reinforced my knowledge on one of our most important constitutional rights. From the various activities around DC to the engaging speakers and roundtable discussions, the lessons learned and relationships formed during this week have had a lasting impact on my life. I cannot wait to take this knowledge and pass it on to my future students." - Auburn University
