The Flinn Scholarship
The Flinn Scholarship isn’t about what you get. It’s about who you become and the impact you make. With the world-class education made possible by the Flinn Scholarship, you can become an agent of discovery, creativity and leadership who will make a difference.
The Flinn Scholarship—valued at more than $135,000—covers tuition, fees, housing, and meals at one of Arizona’s public universities, plus study abroad. Each year, about 20 top Arizona high-school seniors are chosen to learn from amazing faculty, business leaders, and civic innovators and join a vibrant, eclectic community—including a powerful alumni network.
What’s the Flinn Scholar blueprint? There is none. Scholars emerge from throughout Arizona and become leaders in every discipline you can imagine.
Class of 2025 Flinn Scholarship applications under review
More than 60 reviewers are carefully reading and scoring more than 1,100 Class of 2025 Flinn Scholarship applications in three key areas: academic achievement, leadership and service, and personal characteristics.
Applicants will learn Dec. 20 if they advance to an interview as one of about 80 Flinn Scholarship Semifinalists.
In scope and value, the Flinn Scholarship is unlike almost any other undergraduate merit-based scholarship in the United States. Arizona high-school seniors are eligible to apply for the scholarship, which provides a full ride to any of Arizona’s public universities. [Learn more]

NEH Chair and Flinn Scholar Shelly Lowe recounts her journey
Shelly Lowe, chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, laughed when she was asked to define the humanities.
“Humanities are our creation stories,” Lowe said. “And there are so many creation stories out there from different groups and different people, but they are those things that really teach us who we are as human beings.”
Lowe, a Class of 1992 Flinn Scholar and University of Arizona graduate, sat down with Flinn Foundation President and CEO Tammy McLeod, Ph.D., during a visit to Arizona for a conversation about her journey from Ganado on the Navajo Nation to Washington, D.C. [Read more]
