    Preparing Early

    While the official process begins during the first weeks of senior year, the Flinn Scholars Program recommends Arizona high-achieving students start preparing well before. 

    In addition, students throughout high school should pursue challenging and interesting studies and commit to extracurricular activities. Then be ready to apply.

    November and December

    By late November, you will learn whether you have advanced to become one of those 80 Flinn Scholarship Semifinalists who are interviewed by three-person panels. Being named a Semifinalist is a great honor—your name and high school are announced, and you will qualify for a special scholarship from one of Arizona’s three public universities.

    Following the Semifinalists interviews in December, about 40 Flinn Scholarship Finalists will be announced. Typically, Arizona’s universities plan personalized campus visits for finalists, including opportunities to meet professors, administrators, and current students in the Honors colleges.

    March

    Flinn Scholarship Finalists interview in March with a five-person selection committee. A short time later, about 20 Finalists are offered the Flinn Scholarship. Its value, including funding for tuition, housing, meals, and study abroad, exceeds $130,000.

    April and May

    The Flinn Foundation makes a public announcement in April after the new class is finalized and celebrates the Flinn Scholars at the annual Recognition Celebration in May.
