Does your dream of college include the opportunity to travel abroad, conduct research, and pursue creative expression? The flexibility to explore different fields and majors? The support to pursue internships and volunteer experiences? A talented, welcoming, and driven community of friends to share the journey? Becoming a Flinn Scholar means having all this—and the ability to earn a full ride from one of Arizona’s public universities.
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 $135,000—covers tuition, fees, housing, and meals at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, or the University of Arizona, plus study abroad.
The Flinn Scholarship application is comprised of:
- Forms that collect biographical data and information about current studies and extracurricular activities (including employment);
- Two essay prompts and one short-answer question;
- One academic/teacher recommendation, submitted separately by a high-school teacher who has given you a letter grade in a course;
- One leadership/service recommendation, submitted separately by a teacher, professor, coach, employer, or community member;
- A copy of your transcript and school profile, uploaded by your high school academic counselor on the counselor report; and
- A copy of ACT or SAT scores (with a minimum test score of 26 on the ACT or 1230 on the SAT). The final test dates that will be considered for the 2026 application cycle are Oct. 4 (SAT) and Oct. 18 (ACT).
