Phillips Scholars Program – Students Take on Community Problems and Receive Scholarships

submitted by finka2@augsburg.edu

The Phillips Scholars Program application for the 2025-26 cohort is open until February 28, 2025. Phillips Scholars create and test innovative ideas that address community problems — running their own summer programming. There’s support along the way, with the students coming together to develop their leadership skills and prepare for their projects. Scholars receive more than $9,000 in scholarships and stipends. Ten students from 15 eligible Minnesota private colleges and universities will be selected each year.

Interested students should contact Jenean Gilmer (gilmerj@augsburg.edu) to connect with Jenean about your project proposal and begin the online application.
