The Flinn Scholars Experience

Every year, the Flinn Scholars program provides 20 of Arizona's highest-achieving students an unparalleled package for undergraduate study. In partnership with Arizona's three state universities, the program develops enriched educational experiences to expand Scholars' life and career options, while creating the challenging educational environment that students experience at the nation's most selective colleges.

The scholarship helps students achieve their most ambitious educational goals by underwriting tuition and living expenses and providing an allowance for international study. Flinn Scholar recipients are not required to identify a specific curriculum, major, or course of study. However, they are expected to sustain, if not exceed, the levels of academic and personal achievement that first earned them the scholarship by contributing to the creation of new knowledge and achieving their highest potential.

The Flinn Scholarship Provides:

• The full cost of tuition and fees for four years at an Arizona public university, plus funds to cover room, board, books, and supplies.
• A three-week overseas seminar plus two additional summers or semesters of international study-related travel and professional development.
• Personal mentoring by university faculty, community members, and Flinn Flinn Scholars Program alumni and professional staff.
• Public policy seminars on timely topics and issues.
• Field trips and cultural events, often including special access to facilities and performers.
• Opportunities to meet leaders in business, government, education, and the arts.
• Fellowship in a community of similarly high-achieving students.

Total value is estimated at more than $50,000.
