The Progress and Poverty Institute was founded in 1925 with the mission to promote the ideas of 19th century social reformer, Henry George. PPI's Progress of Ideas Scholarship program echoes that original organizational charge in its focus on economic equity and social justice, and its drive to discern and challenge the drivers of inequality in our systems of governance and taxation. The scholarship supports the cost of attendance for students in fields of study related to the organization's mission.
