CSULB Student Leader Named To the Top 100 Conservative College Activists in the Nation


The Phillips Foundation today announced the winners of the merit-based scholarships for academic year 2009-2010 under its Ronald Reagan College Leaders Scholarship Program. Marking its 10th anniversary, the Ronald Reagan College Leaders Scholarship Program offers renewable and one-time scholarships to the “Top 100” college undergraduates who demonstrate exceptional achievements as campus leader-activists against “political correctness” and ideological conformity, and for freedom, American values, and Constitutional principles on their campuses.

California State University Long Beach's own Jason Aula, who is the president of the Conservative Student Union, has been named to the list of top 100 conservative activists in the country. Jason is a Senior majoring in Financial Management and Financial Engineering. Jason has brought numerous speakers through his years at CSULB and does not intend to let up this coming year. According to Aula, "I will be starting work on my MBA in the spring and still have a few more years to create an even larger sphere of conservative influence at Long Beach State".

The Phillips Foundation, based in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit organization founded in 1990 to advance Constitutional principles, a democratic society, and a vibrant free enterprise system. In addition to the Ronald Reagan College Leaders Scholarship Program, the Foundation administers an annual journalism fellowship program which awards grants to print and online journalists early in their careers.

The CSULB Right Wing Salutes Mr. Aula for his services to the university and conservatism.
