Flinn Scholars Program

Scholarship Description

Students in the Flinn Scholars Program are articulate, fun-loving, and hard-working. They are generous, creative, curious—and imperfect. They have excelled in their high-school classrooms while maintaining purposeful involvement in extracurricular activities, whether in the arts or athletics, in laboratory research, or community service. They have assumed leadership roles at school and beyond.

When they arrive at their universities, Flinn Scholars extend and expand on what they have built-in high school—and often discover entirely new opportunities and passions.

To be awarded the Flinn Scholarship, an applicant must:

• Be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) by time of application;
• Be an Arizona resident for two full years immediately preceding entry to the university.

• Attain at least a 3.5 grade-point average (unweighted);
• Rank in the top 5 percent of their graduating class (if the school reports class rank);
• Participate and demonstrate leadership in a variety of extracurricular activities
