2. I just talked to Highlands College in AL, and they are non-government funded, too. 🙂

4. I can understand the rationale of colleges and universities that do not receive federal funding, because then they are not bound by all of the crazy rules and regulations (Title IX, forced curricula of African-American Studies, Queer Studies, Women’s Studies, transgenderism, etc.) imposed in exchange for the receipt of the funding. But then how are low-income students supposed to be able to afford tutions at these institutions which refuse federal funding? Don’t forget there are poor conservative people too.

   It also seems as if many of these institutions refusing federal funding are religious institutions. But there are also many conservative and moderate agnostics and atheists seeking higher education without Marxist brainwashing. It seems only fair one should not have to be brainwashed by Marxism or convert to a religion to receive a college education.

   1. Hello Jim.

      Some of the colleges on the list like Principia College and Hillsdale College have large endowments and donations from alumni which allows them to provide an elite education while providing large financial aid packages. Numerous other like the seminaries provide part time education with the intention that they work simultaneously. A few of the remaining colleges generally limit the cost of their programs, work with students to get private loans and generally refrain from offering STEM subjects which are expensive and usually have limited amenities on campus. Sometimes you do get what you pay for (Gutenberg College for example is housed in one building and has almost no amenities)

      I think the idea of separation of religion and state has been ingrained in our culture and since the left has been associated with atheism and large government, it is natural for conservatives who are also religious to have schools that reject the entanglement. I don’t think any progressive would have reservations over taking a government handout so that would stand to reason why there are no true left leaning colleges.

      I recommended Deep Springs College be added to the list because they appear not to accept federal funding. Still waiting to hear if they qualify. It is a California work college that is elite academically and may qualify as the only left leaning college that doesn’t accept federal funding.

      1. Good suggestion. I’ve reached out to Deep Springs to verify, and if they qualify I’ll add them to the list. Thanks!

5. So sad to see that my alma mater, Moody Bible Institute, has capitulated and accepts federal money.
