College Republicans is an umbrella term that describes college and university students who support the Republican Party of the United States. The College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is the oldest campus-based organization for Republican students and was founded in 1892. It currently represents 250,000 students on over 2,000 campuses. The Republican Party does not officially affiliate with any college groups, although Republican Party members often benefit from college students' campaign efforts on their behalf. Campus chapters may function independently, may be part of a statewide organization, or may be affiliated with a national alliance such as CRNC. The various campus-based Republican clubs function as recruitment organizations for the Republican Party and have produced many prominent Republican and conservative activists.
