College Republicans

College Republicans is a term for college and university students supporting the Republican Party in the United States. The College Republican National Committee (CRNC), founded in 1892, is the oldest campus-based Republican student organization, representing 250,000 students across over 2,000 campuses. While not formally affiliated with the Republican Party, these groups act as recruitment organizations and often contribute to Republican campaigns. Individual campus chapters operate with varying degrees of autonomy, sometimes forming statewide organizations or affiliating with national alliances like the CRNC. College Republicans have fostered numerous prominent Republican and conservative figures.
