SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR JUNIORS: The Coolidge Scholarship is an annually awarded, full-ride, presidential scholarship that covers a student’s tuition, room, board, and expenses for four years of undergraduate study. The Coolidge may be used by recipients at any accredited college or university in the United States. Any high school JUNIOR who plans to enroll in college in the fall of 2026 and is an American citizen or legal permanent resident of any background, pursuing any academic discipline of study, may apply to this non-partisan, need-blind, program (current high school seniors are NOT eligible to apply). Finalists are flown in for a finalist weekend at the Coolidge Historic Site in Plymouth Notch, Vermont where they interview with the Coolidge Scholars Finalist Jury. Recipients of the Coolidge Scholarship are notified of their award late in their junior year, before college application (note: current high school seniors are not eligible to apply). Finalists who are not named Coolidge Scholars are eligible to receive a smaller, one-time, college scholarship. The summer before their senior year of high school, newly-selected Coolidge Scholars spend several orientation days at the picturesque birthplace of the President, Plymouth Notch, Vt. There, scholars get to know Coolidge and his world, and help the Coolidge Foundation oversee its formidable debate programs. Scholars return to Plymouth Notch for a week each summer while in college. Although only a few students are named Coolidge Scholars each year, one hundred of the top Coolidge Scholarships applicants are named “Coolidge Senators.” Coolidge Senators are invited, all-expenses-paid, to participate in the Senators Summit that takes place each summer. At the Summit, learn about President Coolidge and his world and meet other high achieving students from across the country. The Coolidge Scholars Program is operated by the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Fund. Please be aware that this application requires that candidates read President Coolidge's Autobiography and a few other readings, and then write three essays. Based on this information, interested students are encouraged to begin the application early! The competition for this scholarship is significant; only a few new Coolidge Scholarships are awarded each year from a pool of candidates that spans the entire country. Again, as mentioned above, one hundred of the top Coolidge Scholarship applicants are invited to participate in the Coolidge Senators Program which includes an all-expenses paid summit gathering and a $1,000 scholarship. Scholarship applicants are automatically considered for the Senators Program. The scholarship application and additional information can be accessed on their scholarship site - www.coolidgescholars.org For any questions, please email coolidgescholars@coolidgefund.org or you can reach them by phone at 202-827-4291.
For any students interested in learning more about what the U.S. Navy has to offer, Petty Officer Brian Canaday will be set-up at the table in front of the cafeteria during the lunches on Thursday, October 24th - please feel free to stop by and ask any questions that you might have!
