The Coolidge Scholarship
The Coolidge Scholarship is an annually awarded, full-ride, presidential scholarship that covers a student's full tuition, room, board, and expenses for four years of undergraduate study and leadership training. This one-of-a-kind scholarship is available to and may be used at any accredited university in the U.S. This is an incredible opportunity!
The application requires that applicants read President Coolidge’s Autobiography and complete a few other reading assignments. While the book is not overly long, they encourage applicants to begin the application early so that they have plenty of time.
