For our part we can not conceive how a nation could exist, much less prosper, without a strong governmental centralization. But we think that administrative centralization only enervates the people who submit to it, because it ever tends to diminish their public spirit.

Welcome !

The Tocqueville Fellowship, or La Bourse Tocqueville (BT) was created in 2003 to give France's brightest conservative and classical liberal young activists the opportunity to strengthen their convictions.  The Fellowship takes place in Washington D.C..  Over the course of one month, Fellows receive top-level training from seasoned political and civil society leaders.

After a selection process, 6 fellows are chosen each year. Since 2003, 50 french activists have benefited from this once in a lifetime experience.
