The Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) is a non-profit organization that promotes the teaching and research of classical liberalism in higher education in the United States.[4] IHS offers funding opportunities, programs, and events for faculty and graduate students seeking careers in academia as well as various fellowships.[5][6][7][8]

Founded by F. A. "Baldy" Harper in 1961,[1] the organization later began an association with George Mason University[9] and in 1985[5][10] moved to Fairfax, Virginia. The institute is currently located at 3434 Washington Blvd. on the Arlington campus of George Mason University.[9] It is partially funded by the Charles Koch Foundation.[11]
