Flinn Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Flinn Foundation
Does your dream of college include the opportunity to travel abroad, conduct research, and pursue creative expression? The flexibility to explore different fields and majors? The support to pursue internships and volunteer experiences? A talented, welcoming, and driven community of friends to share the journey? Becoming a Flinn Scholar means having all this—and the ability to graduate debt-free from one of Arizona’s public universities.
In scope and value, the Flinn Scholarship is unlike almost any other undergraduate merit-based scholarship in the United States. The scholarship-valued at more than $130,000-covers tuition, fees, housing, and meals at one of Arizona’s three public universities, plus study abroad.
Components of the Flinn Scholarship Application
The Flinn Scholarship application is comprised of:
- Forms that collect biographical data and information about current studies, extracurricular activities, and employment;
- Three essay prompts and two short-answer questions;
