Eligibility
First-year, sophomore, or junior students
Purpose
The Phillips Scholars Program recognizes and rewards private college students who strive to make life better for those with unmet needs. Applicants are challenged to think creatively and become community service leaders. Phillips Scholars identify community concerns, explore ways to create social change, and develop ambitious programs to meet a variety of human and social needs.
Applicants are encouraged to focus on areas of interest to the Phillips Foundation, such as human services, health, education, the disabled, and eliminating discrimination, and must be committed to designing and implementing a Minnesota-focused service project.
Funding
Six competitively selected Phillips Scholars are eligible to receive a $5,000 academic year scholarship, a $4,000 summer award to support the development and implementation of a self-designed service project to address unmet needs in Minnesota communities, and $500 for a supply stipend.
The Phillips Scholars Program deadline falls in February of each year.
