Coolidge Scholarship
Scholarship · Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation · Online
Full-tuition merit scholarship awarded to juniors, usable anywhere.
Our take
Full ride to any U.S. college, applied for as a junior. A handful of winners a year; the finalist and senator tiers are also real distinctions.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
