Coolidge Scholarship

The Coolidge Scholarship is a highly competitive, full-ride merit scholarship for high school juniors. The award covers full tuition, room and board, required fees, and an annual stipend for books and supplies for four years of undergraduate study at any accredited college or university in the United States.

Applicants may pursue any academic field and are considered regardless of geographic location, family income or financial need. Selection places strong emphasis on academic excellence, along with demonstrated interest in public policy, service, humility and an understanding of the values associated with President Calvin Coolidge.

Students apply during their junior year of high school, including eligible homeschool students. For the 2026-27 cycle, applicants must plan to enroll full-time as first-time undergraduate students in fall 2028 and must be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.

The 2026-27 application is expected to open in late summer or early fall 2026. The application deadline has not yet been announced.
