Flinn Scholarship

Each spring, 20 of Arizona’s most outstanding high-school seniors become Flinn Scholars. Don’t miss the chance to join this absolutely brilliant, fun-loving, globe-trotting community of young adults ready to make a difference in Arizona and the world.

The Class of 2023 application is scheduled to open in mid-September.

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.

The Flinn Scholarship application is comprised of:

A) Forms that collect biographical and family data and information about current studies, extracurricular activities, and employment;

B) Three essay prompts and five short-answer questions;

C) Two teacher recommendations, submitted separately by your teachers;

D) A report from your high school’s academic counselor, submitted separately by your counselor (and, at the option of that academic counselor, a recommendation if they know you well enough to provide one); and

E) A copy of your transcript, uploaded by your counselor.
