Benefits

The Stamps Scholarship usually covers tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board for four years of study. Scholars also receive enrichment funds which can be used for studying abroad or internships.

Criteria and Eligibility

The Stamps Scholarship is entirely merit-based and does not consider financial need. The Stamps Foundation and the partner schools consider academic merit, leadership potential, and character.

Postgraduate Study

The Stamps Scholarship only provides funding for undergraduate education, but many Stamps Scholars go on to win graduate scholarships. In 2019, 4 of the 32 American Rhodes Scholars were Stamps Scholars.
