Support us

Supporting the graduate Security Studies Program (SSP) means strengthening our mission to teach a new generation of analysts, policymakers and scholars to think critically and act responsibly in the face of the 21st century’s most pressing national and international security problems.

Your generous gifts help support:

• Public events like the Kalaris Intelligence Conference, an annual event that aims to connect government, academia, media and the private sector.
• Merit scholarships for students from all walks of life. We are committed to bringing in a diverse class of the brightest minds as we build the next generation of security professionals. We have also expanded our scholars-at-risk program, which provides full financial support, to include Afghan and Ukrainian students.
