It’s that time of the year for Arizona’s most excelling high-school students to apply for the state’s most prestigious merit-based scholarship.
The 2024 Flinn Scholarship application opened Sept. 11. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, Oct. 18.
The Flinn Foundation annually selects about 20 Flinn Scholars, who each receive a full ride to Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, or the University of Arizona—valued at more than $130,000.
The scholarship covers tuition, fees, housing, and meals at one of the three universities, at least two study abroad experiences, plus the connections and community found in a network of more than 700 current and alumni Flinn Scholars.
The application is comprised of:
- Forms about current studies, extracurricular activities, and employment;
- Three essay prompts;
- One academic recommendation, submitted by a high-school teacher;
- One leadership/service recommendation, submitted by a teacher, professor, coach, employer, or community member;
- A counselor report that includes a copy of the student’s transcript and school profile; and
- SAT or ACT scores (no minimum score needed to apply).
