Program for Coolidge Scholars

The Coolidge Scholarship is a full-ride, presidential scholarship that is given out every year. It pays for a student's tuition, room and board, and other costs for their first four years of college. Recipients of the Coolidge may use it at any American college or university that has received accreditation. This program is not based on political affiliation or financial need, so anyone from any background can apply.

In their junior year of high school, students apply for the Coolidge Scholarship. Finalists are taken to the Coolidge Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, Vermont, for a finalist weekend, where they meet with the Coolidge Scholars Finalist Jury and talk about their projects. Winners of the Coolidge Scholarship find out in late May of their junior year before they apply to college (note: high school grads are not allowed to apply).

Calvin Coolidge worked hard in school. Public speech, often about public policy, was the only thing the young New Englander liked to do for fun. So, intellectual excellence is the main thing that sets Coolidge Scholars apart. Other factors include showing interest in public policy, understanding the values Coolidge stood for, and having humility, service, and leadership skills.
