Wilmington, DE -- For the sixth consecutive year, Charity Navigator has given the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) its coveted 4-star rating. Profiled and celebrated by the New York Times, NPR, and the Chronicle of Philanthropy for its in-depth analysis, Charity Navigator is America's premiere evaluator of charities.

This 4-star rating reflects ISI's "ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances;" its integrity and sound management; and is a testament to the overall dedication and effectiveness of its employees. According to Charity Navigator, "only 1% of the charities we've rated have received at least 6 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that the Intercollegiate Studies Institute outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible. This 'exceptional' designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Intercollegiate Studies Institute from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."

 "ISI has always had a sterling financial management record. By earning Charity Navigator's highest honors for the sixth year in a row, ISI supporters know that their money is going directly to the programs they support," remarked Dr. Jeff Cain, Executive Vice President for ISI.

Founded in 1953, ISI works "to educate for liberty"--to identify the best and brightest college students and to nurture in these future leaders the American ideal of ordered liberty.
