NRA University

NRA University is an interactive presentation where students learn about the history of the Second Amendment, the NRA, and the current gun debate. NRA staff travel to your campus to debunk anti-gun myths, answer questions from students, and inform students of opportunities to get involved locally. 

All attendees receive a complimentary one-year associate membership, NRA swag, and plenty of food! Special edition promo items are given to students who exhibit the most participation. 

The NRA U program was founded in 2008. As the Grassroots Division’s longest standing program, this seminar has reached students at hundreds of universities all over the United States. 

Don’t let anti-gun spin doctors dictate the terms of the gun control debate. Step into the arena and host NRA University on your campus today!
