ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Free Market Institute is now accepting applications for the fall 2021 McLane Teammates Reading Program, a one semester, non-credit, weekly undergraduate reading group. Program participants read and discuss selections from classic works and contemporary scholars that address important questions in political economy. Participants that successfully complete the program receive a $1,000 scholarship.
The McLane Teammates Reading Program is sponsored by the Free Market Institute (FMI) at Texas Tech University (TTU) and Angelo State University (ASU). The program complements similar programs at Southern Methodist University (SMU), Baylor University, and the University of Central Arkansas.
Participants will meet weekly for Socratic-style discussions that are facilitated by a university faculty member and focused on topics that address the broader themes of the program. The program sessions will take place on Tuesdays throughout the fall 2021 semester.
Students will read and discuss selections from classic works and contemporary scholars that address important questions in political economy, and will meet up with students from other participating schools for a weekend summit at SMU in Dallas, TX.
The Free Market Institute will provide each participant with a set of readings to establish a foundation for the discussions that will address questions of importance to the program theme assigned for the semester. Further details about the program schedule, including meeting dates, times, theme, and schedule of readings will be provided to applicants who are invited to participate in the program.
All undergraduate students who will have a full-time enrollment status at Texas Tech University or Angelo State University during the fall 2021 semester, are eligible and encouraged to apply.
