The University of Arizona is one of the newest Stamps partner institutions, welcoming our first group of five Stamps Scholars in fall 2020. In addition to significant financial support, Stamps Scholars enjoy social and cohort-building events and activities throughout the year. These exceptional students join a national community of Scholars and Scholar Alumni across the globe.
The Stamps Scholarship opportunity will be extended by invitation only to high school students that meet the following criteria:

The scholarship also includes an additional $16,000 in enrichment funds over four years that can be used towards expenses such as:
- Study abroad programs
- Research or other internships
- Academic or co-curricular conferences
