Flinn Scholars
Providing world-class undergraduate education in partnership with Arizona’s public universities.
The Flinn Scholarship
The Flinn Scholarship, valued at more than $120,000, covers tuition, fees, housing, and meals at one of Arizona’s public universities—plus study abroad. Scholars learn from top 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.
