The Flinn Scholars Program will host a series of informational meetings for Arizona high-school students from late March through mid-April. The sessions, in Phoenix, Flagstaff, Tempe, and Tucson, will discuss the 2014 scholarship.

Current Flinn Scholars will be on hand to answer questions and discuss their experiences in the program, and representatives of all three Arizona public universities' honors colleges and/or admissions offices will be available, making each evening a one-stop shop for university and scholarship information.

These meetings are especially important for high-school students who will graduate in spring 2014, but are open to high-school sophomores and freshmen as well. The application itself, for students who will complete high school in spring/summer 2014, will be available online in late August, 2013.

Attendance is not required in order to apply for the scholarship, but is strongly encouraged.

Please note: Because of limited facility capacity, individuals must RSVP in order to attend the March 26 or March 27 sessions at the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix. [Science Center RSVPs are now closed.]

For more information, see your guidance counselor or contact Hannah Carlisle, Flinn Scholars Program Coordinator: fscholars@flinn.org.
