The 2025-26 Coolidge Scholarship application is now live. We hope that you might share this opportunity with any well-qualified high school juniors you know.
A quick refresher: the Coolidge Scholarship is a full-ride, four-year, merit scholarship that recipients may use for undergraduate study at any accredited college or university in the United States. Any high school junior who plans to enroll in college in the fall of 2027 and is an American citizen or legal permanent resident is eligible to apply (current high school seniors are not eligible to apply). Winners may use the scholarship to pursue any academic major.
Academic excellence is the primary criterion considered by the Coolidge Scholarship. Secondary criteria include an interest in public policy and an appreciation of the values President Coolidge championed. Successful candidates will also demonstrate humility and have a record of genuine service to their communities. A complete description of the scholarship’s criteria is available here.
The scholarship application, along with additional information, can be accessed on our scholarship site:www.coolidgescholars.org. The submission deadline is 5:00 PM Pacific time, Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Questions? We can be reached by email at coolidgescholars@coolidgefund.org or by phone at (202) 827-4291.
