As generous as the Flinn Scholarship is in terms of dollars, Flinn Scholars often describe the community they form and the support they receive from all sides as the most meaningful aspects of the program.
The Flinn Scholars Program, in partnership with Arizona’s three state universities, provides enriched educational offerings that expand a Scholar’s life and career options while creating the kind of stimulating, intellectually challenging environment that some students assume can only be found at the nation’s most selective colleges.
One of the greatest assets of Arizona’s universities is their size, enabling them to offer strong programs in almost any discipline imaginable. Meanwhile, their honors colleges offer small seminar courses, research-intensive thesis projects, and personal guidance from professors that might be assumed could only happen at a tiny liberal-arts college.
Complementing the universities’ support for Scholars, the Flinn Foundation routinely provides Flinn Scholars guidance exploring research and travel opportunities, introductions to business, government, and community leaders, and assistance finding professional-development opportunities.
